I wasn't able to find the correct syntax for adding sort in queries using

Could someone provide an example.

What is your concern?

{  
"sort" : [  
{ "post\_date" : {"order" : "asc"} },  
"user",  
{ "name" : "desc" },  
{ "age" : "desc" },  
"\_score"  
],  
"query" : {  
"term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }  
}  
}
