sort schema

In the table of sortKey subparameters, path is mandatory and schema optional, which makes sense, however if schema is omitted "the default value from Explain will be used". 

 

It doesn't make sense to me that there should be a default sort schema.  I think it should say either:

"if omitted, the server will make its best guess", or

"if omitted, the recordSchema schema will be assumed".

 

What do you think?
