[PATCH][LNT] Allow samples to be ordered "bigger is better"

[James Molloy]

Hi Chris,

Thanks! In r235586 and r235587.

With regards the tests, it looks like the Migrations test already runs my
new migrations on all the existing DBs, so that's tested. Now that I've
added "score" too, I don't need an extra sample type in the example DBs and
can just use that, so I've added a test to check that 'score' is correctly
settable and gettable.

Is that sufficient / what you were thinking?

Cheers,

James
