Hi,  
I need help to order by the division between two sum fields, how can I do ? Something like this

```auto
{
  "aggs": {
    "field1": {
      "terms": { 
        "field": "field1",
        "size":50,
        "order": division
      },
      "aggs":{
        "field2":{
          "sum":{
            "field":"field2"
          }
        },
        "field3":{
          "sum":{
            "field":"field3"
          }
        },
        "division": {
          "bucket_script": {
            "buckets_path": {
               "my_var1": "field2",
               "my_var2": "field3"
             },
            "script": "params.my_var1 / params.my_var2"
           }
         }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

This aggregation actually dose not work because the [pipeline aggregation cannot be used for order](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html), so how can I do ?

Are there any other work arounds to make this possible? like using script?
