Expose a function to control the sort order

What I would like is to control the sort order. I’m guessing, internally, that Flexsearch has an algorithm for determining which matched document came before another. If I can just get in there an affect the sort for very specific business logic. Something like this maybe:

index.search(query, {
  sort: (a, b) => {
    if (someReason(a)) { return 1 }
    if (someOtherReason(b)) { return -1 }
    return 0
  }
})

Ideally, the sort callback would get the document and each documents match score as determined what internals of Flexsearch (e.g. BM25). For example, I could manually boost the score on docs that should be prioritized.

@ts-thomas Perhaps you can help with a temporary solution. Is there any way I can find out the internal score of my search results. Because if I can have the internal scores, I can retroactively recompute them and re-sort.

Nope. No progress. And I have up.
