I would have thought that range aggregations return the bucket list in the  
order the range agg is listed, but I'm not seeing that result. (ES 1.3.2)  
Is there a way to enforce original ordering that I'm missing?  
My range aggregation:

"day\_of\_week\_range": {  
"range": {  
"field": "sessions.events.days\_of\_week",  
"ranges": [  
{"from":0, "to":5, "key": "Weekdays"},  
{"from":5, "to":7, "key": "Weekends"},  
{"from":6, "to":6, "key": "Sunday"},  
{"from":0, "to":1, "key": "Monday"},  
{"from":1, "to":2, "key": "Tuesday"},  
{"from":2, "to":3, "key": "Wednesday"},  
{"from":3, "to":4, "key": "Thursday"},  
{"from":4, "to":5, "key": "Friday"},  
{"from":5, "to":6, "key": "Saturday"}  
]  
}  
}

And the response (Note that Weekdays is 2nd in the response, which is why  
I'm posting):

"day\_of\_week\_range": {  
"buckets": [  
{  
"key": "Monday",  
"from": 0,  
"from\_as\_string": "0.0",  
"to": 1,  
"to\_as\_string": "1.0",  
"doc\_count": 11  
},  
{  
"key": "Weekdays",  
"from": 0,  
"from\_as\_string": "0.0",  
"to": 5,  
"to\_as\_string": "5.0",  
"doc\_count": 40  
},  
{  
"key": "Tuesday",  
"from": 1,  
"from\_as\_string": "1.0",  
"to": 2,  
"to\_as\_string": "2.0",  
"doc\_count": 11  
},  
{  
"key": "Wednesday",  
"from": 2,  
"from\_as\_string": "2.0",  
"to": 3,  
"to\_as\_string": "3.0",  
"doc\_count": 10  
},  
{  
"key": "Thursday",  
"from": 3,  
"from\_as\_string": "3.0",  
"to": 4,  
"to\_as\_string": "4.0",  
"doc\_count": 17  
},  
{  
"key": "Friday",  
"from": 4,  
"from\_as\_string": "4.0",  
"to": 5,  
"to\_as\_string": "5.0",  
"doc\_count": 15  
},  
{  
"key": "Saturday",  
"from": 5,  
"from\_as\_string": "5.0",  
"to": 6,  
"to\_as\_string": "6.0",  
"doc\_count": 28  
},  
{  
"key": "Weekends",  
"from": 5,  
"from\_as\_string": "5.0",  
"to": 7,  
"to\_as\_string": "7.0",  
"doc\_count": 37  
},  
{  
"key": "Sunday",  
"from": 6,  
"from\_as\_string": "6.0",  
"to": 6,  
"to\_as\_string": "6.0",  
"doc\_count": 0  
}  
]  
}
