My query is:

> {  
> "query": {  
> //Some query here  
> },  
> "sort": [{  
> "\_geo\_distance": {  
> "location": {  
> "lat": 49.8693846,  
> "lon": -99.9405093  
> },  
> "order": "asc",  
> "unit": "m"  
> }  
> }]  
> }

**I need the code/hints which will let me form this sort at "query" level, programatically in Java.**  
Please quote any classes that i can use.

On another project, I wrote something like:

```auto
SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest(banoIndexName)
 .source(new SearchSourceBuilder()
 .sort(new GeoDistanceSortBuilder("location", lat, lon).sortMode(SortMode.AVG))
 );

```
