Hi All,

I have a mapping in the following format .

```
"mappings": {
        "user_profiles": {
            "properties": {
                "firstName": {
                    "properties": {                  
                        "pan": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "analyzer": "nGramAnalyzer",
                            "search_analyzer": "whitespaceAnalyzer"
                        },
                        "google": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "analyzer": "nGramAnalyzer",
                            "search_analyzer": "whitespaceAnalyzer"
                        },
                        "fb": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "analyzer": "nGramAnalyzer",
                            "search_analyzer": "whitespaceAnalyzer"
                        },
                        "twiter": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "analyzer": "nGramAnalyzer",
                            "search_analyzer": "whitespaceAnalyzer"
                        }                 
                    }               
                },
                "lastName": {
                    "properties": {                  
                        "pan": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "analyzer": "nGramAnalyzer",
                            "search_analyzer": "whitespaceAnalyzer"                    
                        },
                        "google": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "analyzer": "nGramAnalyzer",
                            "search_analyzer": "whitespaceAnalyzer"
                        },
                        "fb": { 
                            "type": "string",
                            "analyzer": "nGramAnalyzer",
                            "search_analyzer": "whitespaceAnalyzer"
                        },
                        "twiter": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "analyzer": "nGramAnalyzer",
                            "search_analyzer": "whitespaceAnalyzer"
                        }                 
                    }               
                }
            }
        }
    }

```

i will insert data into elastic search. but the thing is that while searching i need to get names in the order of precedence.

For Ex: if the user has pan.fb,twitter. I need to display the pan first [name.Is](http://name.Is) there a way to set priority to fields so top priority field will be returned?

For Ex if user first come from Facebook his first name record will be inserted as .  
{  
"firstName" : {  
"fb" : " John"  
}  
}

But if user entered the pan card details in my application the record will be inserted as for same user id above  
{  
"firstName" : {  
"pan" : " Johns"  
}  
}

Now the result look like this

{  
"firstName" : {  
"fb" : " John",  
"pan" : " Johns"  
}  
}

Now while fetching data i need to get the data in the priority which i said. While searching for the user id the result for me should return  
{  
"firstName" : " Johns"  
}

My Priority is  
1.Pan  
2.google  
3.fb  
4.twitter

There's no way to do this in ES.
