An option would be to index the profiles using BM25, for example.

Ability to sort Search API results

Juniper Hare

Use Case: As data consumer (the one calling the S API), I want to be able to retrieve results in a pre-sorted order i.e. job_company_name sorted by alpha ascending or descending.

This is for populating UI with a correct sorted order.
