Hi, Is it possible to store records in sorted order? I see the records are stored randomly. \_index \_type \_id \_score empname dept employee 1 1 emp1 dept employee 5 1 emp5 dept employee 3 1 emp3 dept employee 2 1 emp2 dept employee 4 1 emp4 But I want the records stored in this order. \_index \_type \_id \_score empname dept employee 1 1 emp1 dept employee 2 1 emp2 dept employee 3 1 emp3 dept employee 4 1 emp4 dept employee 5 1 emp5 Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

This is not supported yet, see [Indexing: index-time sorting · Issue #6720 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/6720).
