Different result ordering with regard to 10000 limitation

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a search that has lot results, only "first" 10000 are accessible as commonly known. If I allow users change the ordering of search results (for instance, "order by column 1", "order by column 2", etc.), will user get different sets of 10000 results?
In other words, does the ordering happen before OR after Elasticsearch making the cut of 10000 results?

The sort is done before. And then only the requested size is sent to the client.

Most likely yes.

Thank you for the response.
