Sort (or group) results from query based on a field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a bunch of entries In my elasticsearch db, each with keys
'hostname', 'time_recorded', 'status', whose values are of type string,
int, string.

I want to create a query that prints out each entry such that it will be
"sorted" or "grouped by" hostname. I.e.
host1
host1
host1
host2
host3
host3
...
etc

How would I do this? I tried using sort:
query = {
'fields': ['time_recorded', 'hostname', 'status', 'dbg_str'],
'query': {
'bool': {
'minimum_should_match': 3,
'should': [
{
'term': {
'_type': 'host_history'
}
},
{
'range': {
'time_recorded': {
'gte': 1405628341.904379,
'lte': 1405700341.904379
}
}
}
]
},
},
'size': 20
'sort': [
'hostname',
{ 'time_recorded': 'asc'},
]
}

The only important part is the 'sort' part of my query. I look at the
results but it is not sorted based on hostname first, only on time recorded.
I tried {'hostname':'asc'} but it is still only sorted based on time. Can
someone help me?

Resolved this issue, i had to set mappings for the field 'hostname' to be
not_analyzed.
