Sorting on tokenized fields?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I've indexed some books and like to sort them by title.

What happens if the field is tokenized, is sorting done anyway, using
the first term only?

Is there a way to do some sorting anyway, by concatenating all the
tokens into one string?

Thanks.

Why not index the title into a separate none-tokenized field?

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, that would be one way.
The disadvantage is that you have to send more data to the server =>
more traffic (http).

This is negligible. Although there is some overhead when indexing.

Also take a look into this:
