in your search, specify the quantity field (in foundation, that's usually
"inventory:quantity") as one of the fields to search and sort by.  See
http://www.icdevgroup.org/interchange-doc-5.2.0/frames/icdatabase_31.html
for details, and pay particular attention to the examples mentioning "Any in
stock except Sunflowers, Van Gogh". Remember to add a tf= for the quantity
field...or you may be able to use a sort tag in the results page.  (I'm not
sure if a sort tag would work, but something tells me it should.)
