In elasticsearch you write a search request. It can have:

Group by = the aggregation part  
Having = the query part  
OrderBy = the sort part

Hi @ali_houshyaripour,  
If you are just starting your journey with Elasticsearch, it might help you the ES-SQL [`translate` API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.x/sql-translate.html). You can pass an SQL query to it (with some limitations) and it can suggest an ES query. This might help you get started with Elasticsearch.
