I need to sort the aggregation on the basis of sub-aggregation values and also apply pagination on the same .  
I found in documentation that we can do pagination with composite aggregation but can not sort on the basis of sub-aggregation or doc\_count. But if we use normal aggregation we can sort the aggregation on the basis of sub-aggregation but can not apply pagination .  
Can anyone please suggest any way around where I can use both pagination as well as sorting .
