Welcome ! There's not much details about what you are doing, how, etc... Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible. A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/not-able-to-sort-date-dd-mmm-yyyy-column-using-elastic-search-java-api/219964)._
