doing


_eval(isRude:true):desc

Gets me the error:

Could not find a field named `_eval` in the schema for sorting.

Did i do something wrong? I see the flutter api hasnt been updated in a while, not sure if its out of date or an error on my part.

If you’re on Typesense Cloud, we can upgrade you to that build from our side, if you can email your cluster ID to [email protected]
