[Developers] index of null, default ordering?

[Christopher Dummy]

Thanks for that information.

For the timestamp, is it using  "link": {"timestamp":null} ? Which
means for any property to get it sorted in the way it is displayed in
the UI, I would use the following query for the property:

      "/user/cotton/default_domain/broadcast/genre" : [ {
          "guid" : null,
          "name" : null,
          "index" : null,
          "link" : { "timestamp" : null },
          "sort" : [ "index",  "link.timestamp"  ]  }
