Adding geo distance to a top_hits aggregation

[practiscore]

I'm attempting to select the top hit from a distinct term sorted by distance. I have been able to get the top_hits working correctly however I'm not able to order the buckets by the top_hits distance.

The snippet #1 returns buckets by match_uuid order. I have tired to include another agg next to top(Snippet #2) then add an order to top_matchIds.terms. I can't seem to figure out what value to set order as to sort the buckets by distance from origin.

Also, forgive for me for I have sinned. I'm using elasticsearch with PHP. If you need to convert syntax back to normal then => is :, and [ ] are { }.

        "terms" => [
            "field" => "match_uuid.keyword",
            "size"  => 1000
        ],
        "aggs"  => [
            "top" => [
                "top_hits" => [
                    "size" => 2,

                        [
                            "_geo_distance" => [
                                "location" => $location,
