Is there a way to do a sorting by multiple metrics in the terms aggregations? Here's the way I tried: [https://gist.github.com/2e3s/599330bfef10e9375f6f](https://gist.github.com/2e3s/599330bfef10e9375f6f) and this doesn't work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

In the currently released versions it is not possible to sort by multiple criteria in the terms aggregations. This functionality is coming in 1.5 from this PR: [Add ability to sort on multiple criteria by colings86 · Pull Request #7662 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/pull/7662). The syntax will be a bit different from what you tried in your gist. have a look at [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.x/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation-order) to see the syntax that is coming in 1.5 for this.
