Hey all,

I have a question regarding sorting by _timestamp.

The _timestamp "enabled" setting is set to true, everything else is not 
explicitly specified (so I assume default values are used).
I have an application inserting new documents periodically and I would 
assume that _timestamp gets filled with the current timestamp.

After a while I perform the following sort
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/my_index/my_type/_search?pretty' -d ' {
"sort" : [
        { "_timestamp" : {"order" : "desc" } }
    ]
}

I would expect to always get the last 10 inserted documents, which is not 
the case.
Sometimes I get the most recent ones, sometimes I get some historical data.

Thanks for your help.

BR,
Stefan
