Requirement is to sort, such that new ordering is
rec 4 (alpha sort on highest termX) gives absolutely wide
(recs 1,2 and 3 are 'equal' on this first sort)
rec 1 and rec2 are 'equal' at the next level (termX is 'broad')
next sort should give
rec 1, rec 2, rec3 since comparison is
'A little less narrow'
'less narrow'
'broadish'
so the required final order is
rec4, rec1, rec2, rec3.
