Sorting by Id doesn't seem to work with AppSeach/Enterprise search. Please see the reference UI sort by id. For some reason the id starting with b is before the id starting with a. ![Screen Shot 2020-08-13 at 11.28.47](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/3/63e6e57e321c133260f27b8eefdbf68453ef45b9.png) Am i missing something? Also is it possible to sort by name - but case insensitive? Thanks, Ben ---

Sorting by id should work. And i don't think you have that level of control over sorting. You could try indexing name into a separate field that is lower cased for sorting. ---

Hi Jason, Thanks for the reply > Sorting by id should work. The image above is showing the "reference" UI generated by app search - so it's decinitely out of order based on the id. Any idea why this would be the case? ---

Hi @Mark_Harwood , The UI generates the labels from the document properties - so think it's just capitalized in the label. I'm seeing this same behaviour in my own UI too ---

Hi There, Ok now strangely enough the order seems to have changed? ![Screen Shot 2020-08-24 at 10.44.00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/d/ed777284e37ec7be4cb53dc524ba6f4530b8d696.png) I have not changed the query in any way whatsoever - however now there seems to be other items out of order which have been added more recently. Is there someone from the appsearch team I can chat to to get this sorted? ---

Thanks for reporting this @Ben_Flowers. I can confirm the issue and that we'll have it addressed in an upcoming release. ---

OK great thanks for that - was convinced i must have been doing something wrong! Is there an ETA on the upcoming release? ---

@Ben_Flowers The recent 7.9.1 release should include a fix for this. ---
