Hi, I want to configure the ElasticSearch so that it after calculating the score of each document corresponding to a user query, it sorts those score documents by some other field and then give the response. There may be a case in which some documents have same score. I want Elasticsearch to sort those same scoring documents on some other field. That's why needed this functionality. Can anyone tell me how can I add this functionality to my mapping ? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi Ivan, Actually my code is in java. I have seen those links but not able to implement it in my code. I'm using customscorequerybuilder for building my query. How can I use this sort in my code. Is there any java api for this ? Also, Can I do this sort in my mapping itself ?

Some pseudo-ish code using the Java API: SearchRequestBuilder builder = ... SortBuilder sortBuidler = org.elasticsearch.search.sort.fieldSort(field); builder.setTrackScores(true); builder.addSort(sortBuidler); builder.addSort(scoreSort().order(SortOrder.DESC)); Hope this helps, Ivan On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 10:47 PM, Mukul Gupta [mukulnitkkr@gmail.com](mailto:mukulnitkkr@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Ivan, > > Actually my code is in java.

Hi Ivan, I tried doing the above thing in my code but it seems there is no scoreSort() method. Are you the last sorting needs to be done this way : addSort(scoreSort(). order(SortOrder.DESC)); Thanks On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 12:51 AM, Ivan Brusic [ivan@brusic.com](mailto:ivan@brusic.com) wrote: > Some pseudo-ish code using the Java API: > > SearchRequestBuilder builder = ... > > SortBuilder sortBuidler = org.elasticsearch.search.sort.fieldSort(field); > builder.setTrackScores(true); > builder.addSort(sortBuidler); > builder.addSort(scoreSort().order(SortOrder.DESC)); > > Hope this helps, > > Ivan > > On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 10:47 PM, Mukul Gupta [mukulnitkkr@gmail.com](mailto:mukulnitkkr@gmail.com)wrote: > > > Hi Ivan, > > > > Actually my code is in java.
