Allow options.sort to be a sort function

[franklin-ross]

This would make it consistent with the undocumented options.score, and would provide much simpler workarounds for some of the other issues which want to disable sorting. In that case you could just do something like options.sort = function (results) { return results; }.

We use this:

  sifter = new Sifter(input);
  if (!sort) {
    sifter.getSortFunction = function() {
      return null;
    };
  }
  result = sifter.search(query, options);

Yeah I did see that solution in one of the other issues. I just think it'd
be easy and clear to add this kind of thing to the API as a documented and
supported thing. People obviously want to be able to do it, and I don't
think what you put above is very obvious for a casual user of the library,
even if it's fairly easy to do.

Hmm. Well, maybe it is reasonably obvious and I'm just being pedantic 😜

@alpha-cast Many people searched for it and didn't find it so I don't think it is to obvious. So perhaps you are not pedantic 😄 It would be great if you can create a PR for the documentation.

Yeah OK. I've never actually created a pull request for GitHub before, but have been meaning to learn for a while. Better late than never ;-P

Give me a few days, I've got a sprint review for a client tomorrow and want to get a couple of things done.

Super! If you need help with github please let me know.
