Please see below

{  
"aggs": {  
"category": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "category.name",  
"order": {  
"sorting": "asc"  
}  
},  
"aggs": {  
"sorting": {  
"avg": {  
"field": "category.sortCode"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

I think it's clear just from short viewing -we add special sorting field  
and then get avg metrics for using at order

It is working -but i am not sure that is the only way or the most effective

Advice please
