My Elasticsearch query match documents by distretto = "MI". With size = 0 I hide results.

But most important thing is that I define our_buckets aggregation. It return 1000 keys and it do a "group by" on codiceoggetto.keyword field.

Now I want order my buckets results by doc_count! How can I do?

you can do it using bucket_sort
