Nested Sorting Contradictory Answers

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

Looking through the forums, Shay seems to have given two different answers
to the same question:

http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Sort-on-a-deeply-nested-field-tp3518043p3522355.html

http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Sorting-by-an-nested-object-field-tp3590066p3591950.html

Has anyone got SINGLE VALUED - nested fields to sort properly?

Actually, looking more closely at the first thread, I have a similar
structure to this:

{
"name" : "Snoprinsessa Barbie",
"items" : [
{ "name" : "Faux fur-trimmed parka", "id" : 2 },
{ "name" : "Stud Diamond Ring", " id " : 3 }
]
}

Any sorting I would want to do would be filtered to make the results
single-valued.

i.e. a term filter with id=3, for the above example

Which I think is more like these examples:

  • do I need a plugin for this or is it possible to use out-of-the-box
    sorting?
