This adds support for reading from facetOrdering in getFacetValues. It's applied by default if no sortBy is given, but can be forced (or disabled) by facetOrdering in opts.

results.getFacetValues('brand'); // facet ordering
results.getFacetValues('brand', { }); // facet ordering
results.getFacetValues('brand', { sortBy: ['isRefined:asc'] }); // no facet ordering
results.getFacetValues('brand', { sortBy: ['isRefined:asc'], facetOrdering: false }); // no facet ordering
results.getFacetValues('brand', { sortBy: ['isRefined:asc'], facetOrdering: true }); // facet ordering

Making sure: we decide to fallback to sorting by count and not throwing if the provided order is wrong?

it's something that's a bit blurry at the moment, the spec mentions falling back to sortFacetValuesBy, but I can't retrieve that in the result-side, so I think falling back to just count by default is reasonable.

Alternatively we could make sortRemainingBy required in the dashboard possibly. What did you pick @VladislavFitz?

required in the dashboard

What do you mean? Make the engine always return renderingContent even if it's not set?

this is about the key sortRemainingBy, what do you sort by if the key isn't given?

Sort by count by default sounds good to me 👍

That behavior is getting confusing. Shouldn't we throw instead?

this is needed for the hierarchical menu and menu widgets, they have a sortBy which isn't the default one, but still need to take facet ordering in account.

IIUC that's an internal constraint but that constraint leaks in the public API, which is annoying—but I get the point.

I can see how others might want both a non-default sortBy, but still try to use facetOrdering if it's given

…mentList & HierarchicalMenu

If `facetOrdering` is enabled (the default behaviour), before the default sortBy is used, the result from renderingContent.facetOrdering.values is first checked. If that's present, it will be used to sort the items.

You can still change that ordering afterwards with the existing transformItems, so if you are sorting in transformItems, you actually override the sorting done by facet ordering, and won't see the effect. To use facetOrdering, you thus need to remove any sorting done in transformItems.

If there is a facetOrdering present in the index, but you don't want to use it for a certain widget, you need to explicitly pass `facetOrdering: false` to the widget or connector
