How can I put selected items on top of results? For example I want id 3 and 4 on top after sort by name. Similar to SQL Order in query.

Let's say I have an index call person.  
GET person/\_search

```
{
hits: [
  "_source" : {
     "id" : 1,
      "name" : "Paul"
  },
  "_source" : {
     "id" : 2,
      "name" : “Mike”
  },
  "_source" : {
     "id" : 3,
      "name" : “Alex”
  },
  "_source" : {
     "id" : 4,
      "name" : “Susan”
  }

```

]  
}

My current search query:

```
{ "track_total_hits": true,
"from" : 0,
"size" : 30,
"query":{
  "query_string":
  {
    "query": " some query matchin"
  }
}, "sort" :
[
  {"nae" : {"order" : "desc"}}
] }}
```
