DSL query, fields not coming in same order in result

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a query like this the output expected is in order of fields specified.
name (String)
price (Double)
year (Integer)

but i am getting
price
year
name

so it is automatically getting sorted to put string last, is there anyway to enforce that i recieve result in same order as whatever is specified in fields

"fields": [
"name",
"price",
"year"
]

Query:
{
"fields": [
"name",
"price",
"year"
],
"from": 10,
"size": 5,
"sort": [],
"filter": {
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "/products(name:name)"
}
}
}
}

can anyone suggest how to solve it, really appreciate any help

You mean sorting by it? When you specify fields, those are the fields that
will be returned as part of each hit, not sorting. There is a whole sorting
section that controls sorting.

Hi kimchy,

Thanks for the response, i am not talking about sorting, sorting decides
order of each record, here i am concerned about order of fields in each
record
say for example

Sorting will do something like this

record 1

Columns fName Lname age

Record 1 sam tom 20

Record 2 vim jones 25

sorted by Lname will return

Record 1 vim jones 25

Record 2 sam tom 20

for me this is will be worong
*
Columns age fName Lname *
I expect
*Columns fName Lname age *only, not worried by order of records but order
of columns

sorted by fname will return again records which are arranged

Thanks for the response, i am not talking about sorting, sorting
decides order of each record, here i am concerned about order of
fields in each record

JSON objects are by definition, an unordered collection of key:value
pairs. Even if ES were to return the "fields" object in a particular
order, as soon as you parse JSON the order may be changed.

Thanks for you response, we are using Elasticsearch as a intermediate
data, we are doing very complex compiling and de compiling of data , and
our front end expects order of fields to be maintained, so i wanted as much
functionality i can get directly, anyways we ended up writing a json parser
which will maintain field order.

Thank you all for all your suggestions !!!
