This is the what I am trying with but I am getting `Angular Js` in the last and `Js` in the first. I want to give priority to `Angular Js` then `Angular` and so on. I also implemented the order.

```auto
{
  "sort": [
    {
      "threshold": {
        "order": "desc"
      }
    },
    {
      "last_login": {
        "order": "desc"
      }
    },
    {
      "_score": {
        "order": "desc"
      }
    }
  ],
  "from": 0,
  "track_scores": true,
  "aggs": {},
  "query": {
    "multi_match": {
      "must": [
        {
          "query_string": {
            "use_dis_max": true,
            "fields": [
              "course_name^2",
              "course_type",
              "skills^10"
            ],
            "query": "\"Angular Js\" OR \"Angular\" OR \"Js\""
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "size": 50
}

```

Is there any way to achieve the result what I am expecting?

You can combine different types of search like phrase match, match in a bool query.

I wrote a demo gist about this:

You made relevance score the lowest sort priority. The primary sort order is `threshold` followed by `last_login` date.  
Notice that sites like google make structured data (dates, image sizes) a range filter (e.g. "last week") and not a sort order so that relevance can remain the primary sort order for search results.
