i had data as Below:  
{  
"data": [  
{  
"\_index": "school",  
"\_type": "NestedSort",  
"\_id": "1",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"studentId": "1",  
"student": [  
{  
"program": "Computer",  
"type": "Student",  
"value": 100  
},  
{  
"program": "Architecture",  
"type": "Student",  
"value": 200  
},  
{  
"program": "Civil",  
"type": "Teacher",  
"value": 150  
}  
]  
}  
},  
{  
"\_index": "school",  
"\_type": "NestedSort",  
"\_id": "2",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"studentId": "2",  
"student": [  
{  
"program": "Elex",  
"type": "Student",  
"value": 400  
},  
{  
"program": "Computer",  
"type": "Teacher",  
"value": 250  
},  
{  
"program": "Electronics",  
"type": "Student",  
"value": 150  
}  
]  
}  
},  
{  
"\_index": "school",  
"\_type": "NestedSort",  
"\_id": "3",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"studentId": "3",  
"student": [  
{  
"program": "Computer",  
"type": "Teacher",  
"value": 500  
}  
]  
}  
}  
]  
}

Now, when i try to sort by program field i.e Nested field (student.program), it doesnot give accurate result. Please Suggest for that case.

Can you post the result you'd expect for clarification?
