I have query in ELasticSearch with results say outputting around 20 records almost all of them are having same score but everytime we hit the query , the order of the records are not same, it keeps on changing everytime. For example:- Ist output URL is : First Time the output is in order abc, pqr, def,xyz,ghj.(all values are having same score)  
The next time the query is hit output is def,xyz,abc,ghj that is some random order. I have used no SOrting field ,no boosting yet.and the query is on match\_phrase.  
Hereby question is How we can fix/constant the output of the returned results having same score. and I don't want to use any sorting on fields.
