- Sort numeric
- Sort by parsed date
- Sort by FTS rank

One possible solution for the no-arbitrary-SQL case: users can define sort orders in `metadata.json/yml`. So if you want to enable sort-by-distance without enabling arbitrary SQL you could add something like this:
```yaml
databases:
mydb:
tables:
museums:
sort_clause: bm25(fts)

Two options:
- Try to detect if a text column is all-integers or all-floats, either by scanning the entire table (if it's small enough) or by scanning the first X rows, where X might be the size of the first page or maybe the first 1,000 or similar.

One question: how to reflect that this is happening in the current sort UI. This menu here for example:
And this interface: how should it indicate that a text is currently sorted numerically v.s. sorted alphabetically, and allow the user to switch from one to the other?
