I have to use sorting along with from and size parameters in the elastic search query. I am querying elastic search with 0 to 100 records and then 101 to 200 records and then 201 to 300 records. I have to sort the entire set with salary field. Will it sort the whole set and takes 100 records at a time or will it take 100 records and then apply sorting and then proceed similarly.
