I have this agg in kibana:  
"aggs": {  
"2": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "event\_data.TargetUserName",  
"size": 50,  
"order": {  
"\_count": "desc"  
}  
}  
}  
}

I can get this far in python dsl  
s.aggs.bucket('per\_user', 'terms', field='event\_data.TargetUserName', size=100)

How do I add the order option?

All the keyword arguments to the DSL methods are typically just converted to keys in the resulting `dict`/`json` code, this means you can just add `order={'_count': 'desc'}` like so: `s.aggs.bucket(‘per_user’, ‘terms’, field=‘event_data.TargetUserName’, size=100, order={'_count': 'desc'})`

Note however that that sorting (descending by number of documents) is the default so you don't need to specify anything 🙂
