Hi,

I'm trying to sort some information by date (date desc) and it is not  
working, I tried the two mappings below for the field and it didn't  
work.

"dataNoticia" : {"type" : "date", "format" : "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss",  
"store" :"yes", "index\_name" : "date", "index" : "not\_analyzed",  
"term\_vector" : "no", "boost" : 1.0, "omit\_norms" : true,  
"omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" : true, "precision\_step" : 4},

"dataNoticia" : {"type" : "date", "format" : "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss",  
"store" :"yes"}

The query String is as follows:

[http://localhost:9200/indice/noticia\_transito\_cidade/\_search?callback=LM16206\_noticiasCidadeRetornadas&size=5&q=cidade%3D+558&sort=dataNoticia%3Areverse](http://localhost:9200/indice/noticia_transito_cidade/_search?callback=LM16206_noticiasCidadeRetornadas&size=5&q=cidade%3D+558&sort=dataNoticia%3Areverse)

Is there something I'm forgetting?

Thanks  
Jorge

No, this looks good. Can you open an issue and add some curls that recreate  
the problem?

cheers,
