Does ES 5.0 provide natural sorting out of box? I am using Transport client. I was wondering if I could feed a custom comparator to fields that I want sorted in a specific way? I had looked at the natural sort plugin on github, however it is not available for ES 5.0.

It will be ported to ES 5+ but will take some weeks, it's a spare time project. Please stay tuned. ---
