Question

I have data in this format.

[
    {
        lead_id: "lead_1",
        value: 34
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_1",
        value: 22
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_1",
        value: 67
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_2",
        value: 12
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_2",
        value: 9
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_3",
        value: 22
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_3",
        value: 5
    }
]

And I want to sort the leads based on the value in desc or asc order. Also, I need to collapse the result. I used a query like this for the sort.

{
    "collapse": {
        "field": "lead_id"
    },
    "sort": {
        "value": { "order": "asc" }
    }
}

But I want to sort base on the maximum value. ie if I sort in asc I want the results to be:

[
    {
        lead_id: "lead_2",
        value: 12
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_3",
        value: 22
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_1",
        value: 67
    }
]

and for descending

[
    {
        lead_id: "lead_1",
        value: 67
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_3",
        value: 22
    },
    {
        lead_id: "lead_2",
        value: 12
    }
]

Answer 1

collapse_sort as a feature is not available yet. There is an open PR so it might be available in future.

Work around is to use inner_hits

{
  "collapse": {
    "field": "lead_id.keyword",
    "inner_hits": {
      "name": "most_recent",                  
      "size": 1,                              
      "sort": [ { "value": "desc" } ]    
    }
  },
  "sort": {
    "value": {
      "order": "asc"
    }
  }
}

Result

"hits" : [
      {
        "_index" : "index11",
        "_type" : "_doc",
        "_id" : "xAugp4MBfEI_j4sNVw3V",

          5
        ],

Parent document will still have values sorted as per general sort. Group sort values can be picked from inner hits
