ran a put query for a document with 2 new fields in kibana dev tools. I can see that mapping of the index got updated with these two new fields. In discover, all columns have this sort sign over it but kibana is not showing sort on these newly added fields. How can I bring /add sort sign over these ? Kindly help.

Hello,

I am not quite sure whats happening here.  
Are you saying you can't see this sort sign when you add those fields as columns to discover?

 ![sort](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/9/29bd30717b3e82848e5cb787c027f314e454c5c6.png)

What are the field types for these new fields?

Thanks,  
Bhavya
