I'm trying to overcome the issue that logstash/elasticsearch will not store dates with microsecond resolution. In logstash, I've parsed the micosecond part of my timestamp and put it in a separate field (log\_usec). In kibana, I'd like to now do a two-level sort -- first by timestamp, then by log\_usec. Is this possible?
Closest I've come is based on a hint from here:
```
https://github.com/pauljb/logstash-filter-sequence
```
Using
```
/_search?sort=@timestamp,log_usec
```
in my query URL gets close. The only issue is that the @timestamp is sorted descending and the log\_usec is sorted ascending. Thanks for any help with this. -- Bud

Thanks. I was hoping I was missing something... -- Bud
