I always get this error when I try to search,

parse Failure [No mapping found for [Identifier] in order to sort  
on]]; }{[AslxT8NZTXiNcWxDOiMjWg][car][0]: SearchParseException[[car]  
[0]: query[ConstantScore(NotDeleted(_:_))],from[-1],size[500]: Parse  
Failure [Failed to parse source

however when I call .../car/nissan/\_mapping?pretty=true

{  
"nissan" : {  
"properties" : {  
"file" : {  
"type" : "attachment",  
"path" : "full",  
"fields" : {  
"file" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"author" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"title" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"name" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"date" : {  
"type" : "date",  
"format" : "dateOptionalTime"  
},  
"keywords" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"content\_type" : {  
"type" : "string"  
}  
}  
},  
"DisplayName" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"Identifier" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"LastUpdated" : {  
"type" : "long"  
},  
"LastUpdatedDateTime" : {  
"type" : "date",  
"format" : "dateOptionalTime"  
},  
"Model" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"Name" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"Status" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"Vendor" : {  
"type" : "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}

I see that all the fields are mapped. Is there something a miss here?

It does seem like the Identifier field is there..., can you gist a simple  
recreation (see [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/help)), it will make solving it  
fastest....
