You can run a first level of aggregation (let say a Terms aggregation) and the add a sub sum aggregation.

Like:

```auto
{
  "aggs": {
    "by_xxx": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "xxx"
      },
      "aggs": {
       "do_a_sum_on_field_yyy": {
          "sum": {
             "field": "yyy"
          }
       }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Written from the top of my head so might be buggy though.

Just another question is it possible order by do\_a\_sum\_on\_field\_yyy ?

I don't think so. As the first level of the tree will be by term.
