I've tried "Order by" field. But it's not giving me the result I desire. Maybe I'm missing something. Please help me out.

Due to a technical limitation it's not possible to sort by median in "aggregation based" visualizations.

You can do it in the most recent version of Lens however (sorting works as expected there).

Thanks for your reply. By "most recent version of Lens" Do you mean we have to update our kibana. Or Are referring to Vega, Timelion?

[Lens](https://www.elastic.co/kibana/kibana-lens) is a UI for configuring visualizations. "Most recent" is referring to the Kibana version, yes.
