Sorting certainly ignores scoring, I'm pretty sure it's just not
calculated in that case.

If your sorting results in multiple documents in the same bin, people
will combine the primary sort with a secondary sort on score, so in
that case the score is definitely calculated, ie "&sort=day asc, score
desc"

Returning the score with documents is usually for development
purposes. Scores are _not_ comparable except within a single query, so
IMO telling users that a doc from one search has a score of X and a
doc from another search has a score of Y is useless-to-misleading
information. A score of 2X is _not_ necessarily "twice as good" (or
even as good) as a score of X in another search.

FWIW,
