Order of returned sequences?

here's how it works:

say you ask for N matching sequences (you can control
this by using the advanced search page)

the program now finds all matching sequences, but stops
after getting N 

these are now sorted into order of importance

[you might think the program would find ALL matching
sequences, then sort them, then return the top N,
but that is not feasible - think about it]

so if you want to find the sequence number for the partition
numbers, or the primes, or the Fibonacci numbers,
you should use the Index  (or else type in a lot of terms)
