If I in Kibana (4.3.0) do a search that have results from several indices, the index the result is from seems to have sort priority over the time field. Is there a way to sort this result chronological?

When I do a simular query directly with the search API, the result is sorted correcly.

That's odd, can you provide a screenshot?

Looks buggish, can you raise an issue at [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)?
