Sort by multiple fields Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I would like to sort based on 2 fields in Kibana. First sorted by field1 then by field2. I can see that we can sort by one field in Discover tab, but when I try to sort by another field, the first sorted order is lost.

The same can be done in Elasticsearch using multi-level sort . Why is it difficult to be done in Kibana? I am using Kibana 4.6 and ES 2.4. Can it be done using recent version of Kibana?

Hi @krishna_chaitanya,

Unfortunately this feature is not in Kibana yet. It has been requested for a long time, though. Here's the issue for it: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/696. Feel free to subscribe to it (if you have a GitHub account) so you can get updates on any progress.
