I have a request like this :

{  
"aggs": {  
"days" : {  
"date\_histogram" : {  
"field" : "day",  
"interval" : "day",  
"format": "yyyy-MM-dd",  
"min\_doc\_count" : 1  
},  
"aggs": {  
"total\_impressions" : { "sum" : { "field" : "impressions" } }  
}  
}  
}  
}

How can i specify the sorting order for 'days' field ? (they are default ordered ASC in my case)

Thanks for your help 😉
