Is there a way to specify multi-field and/or descending sort order using lucene-like syntax e.g.: { "size": 128, "query": { "query\_string" : { "query" : "(Gravity) AND (AssetStatus:1 AND AvailableDate:[\* TO 2013-11-29] AND ExpirationDate:[2013-11-29 TO _] AND MaturityRating:[_ TO 25])" } }, "sort": "AvailableDate desc" } Or { "size": 128, "query": { "query\_string" : { "query" : "(Gravity) AND (AssetStatus:1 AND AvailableDate:[\* TO 2013-11-29] AND ExpirationDate:[2013-11-29 TO _] AND MaturityRating:[_ TO 25])" } }, "sort": "AvailableDate, AssetId" } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thank you for quick response! This is somewhat static, I was hoping to provide ui with ability to specify dynamic sort order using Lucerne like syntax.

I don't really see the difference between: { "size": 128, "query": { "query\_string" : { "query" : "(Gravity) AND (AssetStatus:1 AND AvailableDate:[\* TO 2013-11-29] AND ExpirationDate:[2013-11-29 TO _] AND MaturityRating:[_ TO 25])" } }, "sort": "AvailableDate desc" } And { "size": 128, "query": { "query\_string" : { "query" : "(Gravity) AND (AssetStatus:1 AND AvailableDate:[\* TO 2013-11-29] AND ExpirationDate:[2013-11-29 TO _] AND MaturityRating:[_ TO 25])" } }, "sort": [ { "AvailableDate" : "desc" } ] } May be I'm missing something. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 9 décembre 2013 at 21:39:48, Vladimir Khazin (vladimir.khazin@icssolutions.ca) a écrit: Thank you for quick response!
