Hi guys,

I have a couple words "heinz meyer"

my query returns:

- Heinz A. Meyer
- Heinz Meyer GmbH Heizung-Sanitär
- Heinz Meyer
- Karl-Heinz Meyer GmbH

but i need, order by positions matching like next :

- Heinz Meyer
- Heinz Meyer GmbH Heizung-Sanitär
- Heinz A. Meyer
- Karl-Heinz Meyer GmbH

my query is:

> ```
> {
> "query": {
> "bool": {
> "must": [{
> "wildcard": {
> "name": "heinz*"
> }
> }, {
> "wildcard": {
> "name": "meyer*"
> }
> }],
> "must_not": [],
> "should": [],
> "filter": {
> "bool": {
> "must": [{
> "range": {
> "latestRevenueStatistics.revenue": {
> "gte": "0",
> "lte": "40000000"
> }
> }
> }, {
> "range": {
> "latestRevenueStatistics.number_of_employees": {
> "gte": "0",
> "lte": "300"
> }
> }
> }, {
