Hi，

I am currently working on an information retrieval task and I want to save the retrieved documents for bad case analysis. I have printed the output of the search function in beir/retrieval/search/dense/exact_search.py, and the format is {q_id: {pid: score}}. such as:

However, it seems that the corpus ids are not sorted according to the scores. Should I sort the results by cosine similarity from high to low and save them so that the most relevant documents are placed at the beginning?

Thanks!
