This is not a mistake.FM returns the first [skipsize] records of the  
found set, unless you specify a starting record.
This is equivalent to viewing the first 10 of 11 sorted records in  
FM. In descending order, you will see the exact same 10 first records  
as Jon listed...

Solutions...
1. You could split the work: find the records in FM and sort them in  
php (there are lots of array sorting functions in php)
2. If you always know in advance which records you want, you could  
set the starting returned record in the FX query

I'd probaly prefer 1., since it allows me to not know in advance  
which starting record to ask for...
