as i am doing shorting on multiple fields  
{ followersCount: { order: 'desc' } },  
{ averageRating: 'desc' },  
{  
\_geo\_distance: {  
coordinates:  
[lng,  
lat],  
order: "asc",  
unit: "km",  
distance\_type: "arc",  
ignore\_unmapped: true  
}  
},

The business are sort 100% on first short than on 100 % on second sort key

for example [7,5,7] ,[2,9,9] ,[6, 3,8]

the result is [7,5,7] ,[6, 3,8] ,[2,9,9]

i am bit confused here can we define the weight to sorting key is it is possible

i have to sort according this criteria

1. Count of follower - 50%
2. Average rating of the business - 40%
3. Location - the closest businesses will be given more score - 10%
