FIELD_DOC | Represents sorting by document number (index order).
FIELD_SCORE | Represents sorting by document score (relevancy).
FLOAT | Sort using term values as encoded Floats. Sort values are Float and lower values are at the front.
INT | Sort using term values as encoded Integers. Sort values are Integer and lower values are at the front.
SCORE | Sort by document score (relevancy). Sort values are Float and higher values are at the front.
