Spring data elastic search with sort not working - elasticsearch

Question

I am using elastic search db and spring data.
Following is my document in which I am searching and that search result should return sorted and pageable list.
#Data
#EqualsAndHashCode(exclude = { "id" })
#Document(indexName = "job", type = "job")
public class JobDocument implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Id
private String id;
#Field(type = FieldType.String, index = FieldIndex.analyzed, store = true)
private String name;
#Field(type = FieldType.String, index = FieldIndex.analyzed, store = true)
private String desc;
#Field(type = FieldType.Date, store = true)
private LocalDateTime dateTime; // java.Time
}
I am searching text in desc field and want to sort it by dateTime field. My search service does following,
BoolQueryBuilder queryBuilder = boolQuery();
queryBuilder.must(QueryBuilders.queryStringQuery("*" + desc + "*").lenient(true).field("desc"));
NativeSearchQueryBuilder searchQuery = new NativeSearchQueryBuilder();
searchQuery.withPageable(pageable);
searchQuery.withSort(SortBuilders.fieldSort("dateTime")
.order(SortOrder.DESC))
searchQuery.withQuery(queryBuilder);
Page<JobDocument> jobs = jobRepo.search(searchQuery.build());
Following is my repo,
public interface JobDAO extends ElasticsearchRepository<JobDocument, String>
{}
Search and pageable is working but Sorting is not working.
Am I missing something?

Their is a sort option available in pageable object.Instead of using the sort and pagination separately, you can add them into a single object PageRequest.
BoolQueryBuilder queryBuilder = boolQuery();
queryBuilder.must(QueryBuilders.queryStringQuery("*" + desc + "*").lenient(true).field("desc"));
NativeSearchQueryBuilder searchQuery = new NativeSearchQueryBuilder();
searchQuery.withPageable(new PageRequest(0, 10, Sort.Direction.DESC, "dateTime"));
searchQuery.withQuery(queryBuilder);
