Hello,
I don't know how to simulate this using makeresults, but I have data over 10,000 (let say 50,000)
If I sort descending using "| sort - 0 Score", it will only give me 10,000 rows, but I used "| sort 0 Score desc", it will give me 50,000 rows.
What is the different between using sort - and sort desc?
Why doesn't sort - only limit to 10,000? Thank you so much
index=test
| sort - 0 Score ==> only 10,000 rows I need to use "| sort Score desc"
Name | Score |
Name1 | 5 |
Name2 | 0 |
Name3 | 7 |
Name4 | 0 |
…. | |
Name50000 | 9 |

See sort. | sort 0 Score desc is semantically identical to | sort limit=0 Score desc. But | sort - 0 Score is equivalent to | sort 0, Score desc. That is, you are sorting two fields, 0 and Score, in descending order and without using limit.
Sort is memory hungry. Setting 10,000 by default is a sensible choice.
