Hello - I am using [Elastic.co](http://Elastic.co)'s SearchUI (which is great!). Is it possible to sort Facet values by alphabetical order, instead of the default, which is by the number of results per value?

Thank you!

It looks like that is an option for App Search, you'd need to specify a "value" sort in the facet configuration: [Search API facets | Elastic App Search Documentation [8.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/facets.html#facets-value-facet)
