I get month old results when using the following query from curl. How can I sort by @timestamp and get the latest event?

curl 'localhost:9200/*/_search?q=field%3Aattribute&pretty=true' | grep times
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 10058 100 10058 0 0 236k 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 239k
"@timestamp" : "2016-05-24T15:17:14.000Z",
"timestamp" : "May 24 10:17:14",
"@timestamp" : "2016-05-24T15:58:24.000Z",
"timestamp" : "May 24 10:58:24",
"@timestamp" : "2016-06-15T18:14:59.000Z",
"timestamp" : "Jun 15 13:14:59",
"@timestamp" : "2016-06-15T14:14:57.000Z",
"timestamp" : "Jun 15 09:14:57",
"@timestamp" : "2016-05-19T23:03:39.000Z",
"timestamp" : "May 19 18:03:39",
"@timestamp" : "2016-05-19T17:27:32.000Z",
"timestamp" : "May 19 12:27:32",
"@timestamp" : "2016-05-05T17:32:11.000Z",
"timestamp" : "May 5 12:32:11",
"@timestamp" : "2016-05-05T17:32:10.000Z",
"timestamp" : "May 5 12:32:10",
"@timestamp" : "2016-05-05T16:13:54.000Z",
"timestamp" : "May 5 11:13:54",
"@timestamp" : "2016-05-09T19:08:24.000Z",
"timestamp" : "May 9 14:08:24",

Here are the docs for sort. You can also use it on the uri (search that page for sort.) You'll likely get much better performance by limiting the result to a modern time range as well. On the url that looks like this.

When I use curl in the format above, is that using URI or URL?

Thanks.
