Instantsearch.js: Sort by widget drop-down default selection

[egyprotech]

Hi! I have a documentation issue on InstantSearch.js, I could not find what I was looking for which is:

We are using algolia with magento extension,
We are using sortBySelector widget.
Most relevant is the default selection of this drop-down no matter what we configured which attribute is first.
Where Should we modify to make a default selection like price for example.

The default selection is based on the selected index. You can change the default index by modifying how InstantSearch.js is initialized:

const search = instantsearch({
  appId: 'latency',
  apiKey: '6be0576ff61c053d5f9a3225e2a90f76',
  indexName: 'instant_search', // << HERE
  searchParameters: {
    hitsPerPage: 8,
  },
});

You can change the index here: https://codesandbox.io/embed/vy4prppwmy

Does that solve your problelm @egyprotech ?
