I have a question about sorting in Typesense, I hope someone can help me with this. I'll give an example of a shop that sells clothes to illustrate the problem, there are 5 categories of mens clothes: a) t-shirts b)shirts c)trousers d)shoes e)coats . Each clothing item receive a numeric "promotion_rank" (1-99) that is used for sorting the results. When a user visits the search and has not chosen a clothing category , we want to predictably show an even number of items of each type sorted by a numeric "promotion_rank". Ideally the results would predictably show an item of each type in a "round-robin" fashion as the results are displayed . Ideally we would show the search results in the following order . 2 t-shirts, 1 shirt, 1trousers, 1shoes, 1coats.....and so on repeating the order as the results descend by the "promotion_rank". Is it possible to order results in this controlled way in typesense?

This is not possible to do out of the box. But you can use some business logic that controls the

pinned_hits

search parameter in Typesense and/or the overrides API to achieve this
