JsonObject to SortBuilder object

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
#1

I would like to turn an arbitrary JsonObject (which presumably follows the
Search/Sort DSL into a SortBuilder which can then be passed to the
SearchRequestBuilder::addSort.

I've gotten this to work by simple parsing the JsonObject myself and
calling the appropriate calls in the SortBuilder, but that means that I
have to implement the parsing for every variation of the DSL.

If I've got a Java JsonObject that looks like:

{
"first_name": "asc"
}

OR

{
"first_name": {
"order": "asc"
}
}

OR

{
"_geo_distance":{
"my_position":{
"order": "asc"
}
}
}

All of which are valid Json for the sort, I would imagine there's a way to
call:

JsonObject sort_json =
SortBuilder sort = new SortBuilder()
sort.setSort(sort_json);

I'm almost certain I'm missing something but can't for the life of me
figure out how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a simpler way to ask the question:

I've got this:

GeoDistanceSortBuilder sorter = new
GeoDistanceSortBuilder("values.geo_location");
sorter.point(0.0, 0.0);
sorter.order(SortOrder.DESC);
sorter.unit(DistanceUnit.KILOMETERS);
sorter.geoDistance(GeoDistance.PLANE);
sorter.toString()

Which produces the string

"_geo_distance"{
"values.geo_location" : [ 0.0, 0.0 ],
"unit" : "km",
"distance_type" : "plane",
"reverse" : true
}

I would like to do the opposite. I have the above string, and I want to
turn it into a GeoDistanceSortBuilder without having to manually parse it.
