Allow sort by boolean fields

When creating indexes and sorting with "normal" queries, it is possible to index/sort on a boolean field. I was hoping to do this with Atlas Search Sort as well, but it only supports date, number and token (string). While workarounds are available (using custom scoring), these are not easily combined with multiple sort fields and make programmatically building a query vastly more complex. See: https://support.mongodb.com/case/01169728

    While this feature would be valuable for me, I've had a better idea that would solve it and all kinds of other scenarios as well: https://feedback.mongodb.com/forums/924868-atlas-search/suggestions/47081989-allow-aggregate-pipeline-on-input-documents-before

    It is my understanding this feature may be in the works, but I was unable to find an existing feature request for it.
