Python elasticsearch-dsl sorting with multiple fields

I'm trying to form the command for sorting using elasticsearch-dsl. However I have trouble passing the variable in correct format in.

The format should be

s=Search()
s = s.sort({"time":{"order":"asc"}}, {"anoter_field":{"order":"desc"}})
s.execute()

The problem is I'm trying to put {"time":{"order":"asc"}}, {"anoter_field":{"order":"desc"}} as a variable, but I can't seem to get this in the right syntax. I tried using dict, list, and string, and none seems to work.

My input would be a dict that looks like 

input = {"time":"asc", "another_field":"desc"}
Solution 
  • data_input = {"time":"asc", "another_field":"desc"}
args = [{k:{'order':v}} for k,v in data_input.items()]
s.sort(*args)

    I guess is what you are asking? Its hard to tell ...
