event: {
name: 'event',
num_documents: 0,
enable_nested_fields: true,
fields: [
{ name: 'title', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'logoUrl', type: 'string', optional: true },
{ name: 'bannerUrl', type: 'string', optional: true },
{ name: 'published', type: 'bool' },
{ name: 'place', type: 'object' },
{ name: 'place.formattedAddress', type: 'string' },
{
name: 'place.location',
type: 'geopoint',
},
{ name: 'place.lat', type: 'float' },
{ name: 'place.lng', type: 'float' },
{ name: 'startAtUnix', type: 'int64' },
{ name: 'startAtUtc', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'startAtLocal', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'endAtUnix', type: 'int64' },
{ name: 'endAtUtc', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'endAtLocal', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'iana', type: 'string' },
] as const,

04/10/2024, 6:28 PMhmm maybe I misconfigured this because I keep getting place.location is not a sortable field?

04/10/2024, 6:49 PMhaha nevermind. Typo inside a sort query. But since I pasted the code above, it is recommended to have { name: 'place', type: 'object'} and also have specific fields listed like { name: 'place.location', type: 'geopoint' } above? I previously went without { name: 'place' , type: 'object' }
