I use has\_parent for query data, but I want to sort this data follow some parent field which is a **String**.

I tried to find solutions, I found how to sort in ElasticSearch documents

```auto
"query": {
        "has_parent" : {
            "parent_type" : "blog",
            "score" : true,
            "query" : {
                "function_score" : {
                    "script_score": {
                        "script": "_score * doc['view_count'].value"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

```

> **[Has parent query | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.13\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-has-parent-query.html#has-parent-query-performance)**

It use "score" \* **doc['view\_count']** for searching which is an **integer** , but I want to do some calculations with **String** for searching it, but I don't know what should I do.

If you have another idea, please tell me.

thanks for helping me.
