Support sorting by the search relevance when custom sorting search results.

Our search index is mostly data, so we get a lot of documents with identical search relevance. We would like to use the newly announced sort feature, but we need to retain the sort relevance (score) as the primary sort criterion. We want to additionally specify reverse chronological order as the secondary criterion. Adding the missing ability to also sort by the score would solve our need.
