> Typesense use a default_sorting_field on each document, it means that before indexing your documents you need to compute a relevancy score for typesense to be able to sort them based on your needs

This is not entirely true. You can just use a field with a constant value (say 100) as the default sorting field and Typesense will just use the text based relevancy. Please update your comment.

The reason why Typesense does insist on one, though is that it's always a good idea to have a field that indicates popularity of a record (or a proxy to it). It makes search so much better.
