Unfortunately this wouldn’t have worked in earlier versions of lucene where you could pass a SortField to the bindings API either, as that only understood certain types of sort - part of the reason we removed it in favour of the more explicit DoubleValuesSource API.
You have a few options here:
- if you want to continue to use expressions, then there is some example code in TestDemoExpressions that uses separate latitude and longitude fields and the javascript haversin function that should act as a guide.
- another option with expressions is to code up your own DoubleValuesSource that re-uses some of the code from LatLonPointDistanceComparator to produce the distance for each document from a particular point. This is a bit of coding, but I can see that it would be generally useful and might be a nice contribution
- My more general recommendation would be to avoid using expressions and instead combine your scores using a boolean query with a LatLonPoint.newDistanceFeatureQuery() as a SHOULD clause. This is likely to be much more efficient, particularly if you don’t need an exact total hit count, as feature queries can make use of skip data to avoid scoring large numbers of documents.
