according to martijin's remarks on 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elasticsearch/A5DSgvnTnC0
and also this issue 
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3752 ,

search results should be sortable by _boost field.

my particular setup:

{ 
  "product": {
    "properties": {
      "_boost": {
        "type": "float",
        "null_value": 1.0,
        "index": "not_analyzed"
        }
    }
}

when using a match_all query, I can sort for any numeric field, but the 
"_boost", that does not work. I'm using 0.90.10

Also, I don't know if this is related, but when I try to get the mapping 
via localhost:9200/index_name/_mapping , the _boost field doesn't show up. 
I guess it's because of its special nature.
