Hi guys!

Someone can help me to understand the order of aggregations please?

I have this request with these aggregations:

"aggs": {  
"coneixements": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "coneixements.keyword",  
"size": 20,  
"execution\_hint": "global\_ordinals"  
}  
},  
"sexe": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "sexe.keyword",  
"size": 3,  
"execution\_hint": "global\_ordinals"  
}  
},  
"valoracio": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "valoracio.keyword",  
"size": 3,  
"execution\_hint": "global\_ordinals"  
}  
}  
}

But the result is in another order:

"valoracio": {  
"doc\_count\_error\_upper\_bound": 0,  
"sum\_other\_doc\_count": 0,  
"buckets": [  
{  
"key": "Normal",  
"doc\_count": 715787  
},  
{  
"key": "Bo",  
"doc\_count": 34542  
},  
{  
"key": "Fluix",  
"doc\_count": 18038  
}  
]  
},  
"coneixements": {  
"doc\_count\_error\_upper\_bound": 5710,  
"sum\_other\_doc\_count": 338545,  
"buckets": [  
{  
"key": "Carnet B1",  
"doc\_count": 277033  
},  
{  
"key": "Carnet Manipulador",  
"doc\_count": 55677  
},  
{  
"key": "Excel",  
"doc\_count": 29867  
},  
{  
"key": "Word",  
"doc\_count": 29552  
},  
{  
"key": "Office",  
"doc\_count": 24318  
},  
{  
"key": "Mecanografia",  
"doc\_count": 23455  
},  
{  
"key": "Comptabilitat",  
"doc\_count": 21786  
},  
{  
"key": "Logística",  
"doc\_count": 11706  
}  
]  
},  
"sexe": {  
"doc\_count\_error\_upper\_bound": 0,  
"sum\_other\_doc\_count": 0,  
"buckets": [  
{  
"key": "Home",  
"doc\_count": 430610  
},  
{  
"key": "Dona",  
"doc\_count": 337739  
},  
{  
"key": "Indiferent",  
"doc\_count": 18  
}  
]  
}

Order of request --\> coneixements - sexe - valoracio  
Order of the result --\> valoracio - coneixements - sexe

Thanks!

JSON as a standard does not guarantee the order of keys in a map, so we cannot either.
