Research direction

Start by tracing the query path that applies distance sorting and identify how query options are exposed to users. Confirm the default remains sorted by distance, then verify that an explicit opt-out skips sorting and produces the expected performance behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Sorting by distance will be on by default, but let's allow users to remove it for their own needs. This will also result in a performance gain.
