Combining Sorting Parameters in GeoSearch

TLDR chase asked if sorting parameters could be combined in geosearch. Jason suggested using the `precision` parameter for this purpose.

Jason quick question for you regarding geosearch / sorting of results! is there any chance that we can combine sorting parameters? i can sort by text similarity, and by distance, and have one or the other break a tie

i’m curious right now if there is a kind of way to “blend” the sorting of those two if that makes sense

Yup, the `precision` parameter might help:

It essentially forces a tie between all records within each specified x miles/kms bucket, and then the next field in the sort_by will be used for tie breaking within each bucket
