Changed the order of the example slightly to make it more understandable.

Added 2 missing key points:

  • Multiple sort options act as tie breakers
  • The order of those matter

@georgewallace Do you know someone that can confirm this:

By default, Elasticsearch sorts numeric fields in descending order and string fields in ascending order

I couldn't find this anywhere (and it should be in this doc)
