@Bargs, I looked into field formatter. I want to format the field 'names' not 'values', so I think it won't help me. I raised another topic for the filtering here - [How to 'filter' in Discover when the field is a scripted field](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-filter-in-discover-when-the-field-is-a-scripted-field/204890). @Larry_Gregory tells me its a known limitation. Now, I am thinking of alternate solutions. The only reason I had to use scripted fields was prettier names for the fields. The script only contained reassignment of the same value to another field with a prettier name. I would like to try Aliases or ditch the prettier names altogether. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/sorting-in-discover-not-working/204626)._
