=== `SORT`
|
|
Use the `SORT` command to sort rows on one or more fields:
|
|
|
|
[source,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=sort]
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The default sort order is ascending. Set an explicit sort order using `ASC` or
|
|
`DESC`:
|
|
|
|
[source,esql]
|
|
----
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[tag=sortDesc]
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Two rows with the same sort key are considered equal. You can provide additional
|
|
sort expressions to act as tie breakers:

==== `null` values
|
|
By default, `null` values are treated as being larger than any other value. With
|
|
an ascending sort order, `null` values are sorted last, and with a descending
|
|
sort order, `null` values are sorted first. You can change that by providing
|
|
`NULLS FIRST` or `NULLS LAST`:
