I have a simple document schema on which I am trying to run the following  
query :

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/indexName/topn/\_search?pretty' -d '{  
"aggregations" : {  
"applid" : {  
"terms" : {  
"field" : "applid",  
"size" : 3,  
"order" : {  
"tt\>byt\_sum" : "desc"  
}  
},  
"aggregations" : {  
"tt" : {  
"filter" : {  
"and" : {  
"filters" : [ {  
"range" : {  
"t" : {  
"from" : 1403211600000,  
"to" : 1403216100000,  
"include\_lower" : true,  
"include\_upper" : true  
}  
}  
}, {  
"terms" : {  
"gid" : ["abcd"]  
}  
} ]  
}  
},  
"aggregations" : {  
"byt\_sum" : {  
"sum" : {  
"field" : "byt"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

This seems to give me back an error

"error" : "SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query],  
all shards failed; shardFailures {[rcP5ncimTpmcUZgvn5cgSw][indexName][0]:  
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException[null]}{[vauVf2XOQvOobpqIbp0REQ][indexName][2]:  
RemoteTransportException[[Bloodstorm][inet[/10.0.0.91:9300]][search/phase/query]];  
nested: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException;  
}{[vauVf2XOQvOobpqIbp0REQ][indexName][1]:  
RemoteTransportException[[Bloodstorm][inet[/10.0.0.91:9300]][search/phase/query]];  
nested: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException;  
}{[vauVf2XOQvOobpqIbp0REQ][indexName][4]:  
RemoteTransportException[[Bloodstorm][inet[/10.0.0.91:9300]][search/phase/query]];  
nested: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException;  
}{[vauVf2XOQvOobpqIbp0REQ][indexName][3]:  
RemoteTransportException[[Bloodstorm][inet[/10.0.0.91:9300]][search/phase/query]];  
nested: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException; }]",  
"status" : 500  
}

When I take the  
"order" : {  
"tt\>byt\_sum" : "desc"  
}  
out, this seems to work fine. Also, the error only occurs for certain "gid"  
: ["abcd"] parameters. FOr example, it works for "gid" : ["1234"].  
Could you suggest what is going wrong here?

Elasticsearch version :

{  
"status" : 200,  
"name" : "Kylun",  
"version" : {  
"number" : "1.1.1",  
"build\_hash" : "f1585f096d3f3985e73456debdc1a0745f512bbc",  
"build\_timestamp" : "2014-04-16T14:27:12Z",  
"build\_snapshot" : false,  
"lucene\_version" : "4.7"  
},  
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"  
}
