Hello community,  
I want sort order in alphabetically when i select ascending order.  
I do this but doesn't get proper result.  
My query like  
{  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"sort":[  
{  
"Name":{  
"order":"asc"  
}  
}  
]  
}

Result like :

> Alliston DuraBlend Salsa Sectional  
> Austin Red Rocker Recliner  
> Bishop Red High Leg Recliner  
> Darcy Salsa Sofa Chaise  
> Vacherie Salsa Reclining Console Loveseat  
> Tensas Crimson Sofa  
> Darcy Salsa Two Piece Sectional

but this is not actual result i think  
i want like this

> Alliston DuraBlend Salsa Sectional  
> Austin Red Rocker Recliner  
> Bishop Red High Leg Recliner  
> Darcy Salsa Sofa Chaise  
> Darcy Salsa Two Piece Sectional  
> Tensas Crimson Sofa  
> Vacherie Salsa Reclining Console Loveseat

Kind regards,

Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer.

A wild guess is that you are sorting on a `text` field instead of `keyword` field. Which might indicate that you are using an old version.
