No way to page results when using $near and > 100 results

I have a resultset of ~1000 results. I need this to be sorted by distance and paged.

Using $within, I can accomplish the paging but not the sorting.
Using $near, I have sorting, but no paging (unless the count is less than 100)

$near seems to use the $limit parameter to determine the total number of results, instead of the page size.
