Comment:
There is some work in this branch:
https://github.com/django/django/compare/master...ramiro:ticket_25790?expand=1
I'm thinking now it's wrong or at least incomplete.
I suspect this is overloading the `ModelAdmin.ordering` option (which is
for specifying the change list default/initial ordering) with an
additional function.
A possible solution, provided the feature proposed by this ticket is
accepted, is to have another option e.g. `orderable_by` which when not
provided makes things behave like they do now and when specified (a list
of fields) is ORed with `ordering` to get the final list of columns which
will actually be allowed to sort by.
