Hello, I've set up a mapping on myIndex as follows: "mappings" : { "place" : { "properties" : { "location" : { "type" : "geo\_point", "fielddata" : { "format" : "compressed", "precision" : "3m" } } } } } And indexed data like so: {"\_index":"myIndex","\_type":"place","\_id":"328","\_version":2,"exists":true, "\_source" : {"location":{"lat":42.02397,"lon":-87.684965}} When querying I get an error: { "index": "myIndex", "size": 10, "from": 1, "type": "place", "filtered": { "query": { "query\_string": "test" }, "bool": { "must": [ { "geo\_distance": { "distance": "150mi", "place.location": { "lat": "41.8781136", "lon": "-87.6297982" } } } ] } }, "sort": [ { "geo\_distance": { "location": { "lat": "41.8781136", "lon": "-87.6297982" }, "unit": "mi", "order": "ASC" } } ] } The error is "Parse Failure [No mapping found for [[object Object]] in order to sort on" I've tried changing location to place.location in the sort. Also, should I use "\_geo\_distance" or "geo\_distance"? Why are they both used in different documentation? Thanks!

Thanks again. By working with a gist I figured out the problem was with how I'm using the javascript client. The sort wasn't in the "body" of my json request.
