Yes, it is possible. By default, search results are returned in order of relevance based on the similarity between the query and the documents. However, by specifying a field in the 'sort' parameter, you can sort the results by the values of that field (in ascending or descending order).
# EXAMPLE
# Sort in ascending order by the author name field.
sort=author asc
# Sort by date in descending order. If dates are the same, sort by relevance in descending order.
sort=date desc,score desc
