Sure, you pass too many arguments. Check the docs.

DistributeSorted is a parameter to the script, not to the search engine. 
The search script must be the same during the whole search, but you can 
construct it dynamically when you pass it to the search engine (this is 
called "compiling" the script in the tutorials):

fun {Compile Problem DistributionFct}
...
in
   proc {$ Start}
...
      {DistributionFct TasksOnWorkCenters Start Dur}
...
   end
end

Script={Compile JobShopProblem DistributeSorted}

"Earlier" is used to tell which solution is better (and, during 
branch-and-bound search, it is even able to constrain a computation 
branch to be "better" than the most recent result - there can be more 
than one "active" computations at a time).

DistributeSorted is a procedure used inside your script.

"Script" itself is the script that the search engine executes.

Hope this helps,
