Sort
Sort your results in an order other than document score.
Using sort will override the default relevance scoring method.
A special sorting field name is available, _score, to order by relevance.
If a sort parameter is not given, results will be ordered by descending relevance.
| Type | Sorting |
|---|---|
text |
Yes, alphanumerically. |
