Hi @ashish.akm,

Welcome to the community! I assume you're querying against a single index? Have you taken a look at [bool query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-bool-query.html) including your `match` and `match_phrase` terms?

Hi @carly.richmond  
I am using below query but sort give me entire result with reportedate descending order, Where as I want sort by reportdate descending on "match\_pharse" result set then "match" sort by reportedate descending.  
GET /\_search  
{  
"sort":[  
{"reporteddate" : {"order": "desc", }}, "\_score" }  
],  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"match\_phrase": { "file.content": "query": "elections time" ,"boost": 10}  
},  
{  
"match": { "file.content": "query": "elections time" }  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

Thanks for confirming @ashish.akm. I'm not aware of an ability to specify different sort criteria for each phrase in the query DSL. But you could have a look at writing a [custom sort script in painless](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.6/sort-search-results.html#script-based-sorting).
