This is such a simple request..is there ANY way to do a multifield sort?

{  
"sort": [  
{ "app\_timestamp": "asc" },  
{ "cf\_offset": "asc" }  
]  
}

works in Dev Tools, but NOT in discovery tab or edit query option.

Hi, unfortunately this feature is not in Kibana yet. It has been requested for a long time, though. Here's the issue for it: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/696](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/696). Feel free to subscribe to it so you can get updates on any progress.

Wow? Really? This has been an issue for 5 years now and hasn't been fixed? This is a very simple ui feature. I am highly disappointed. ☹
