Comment (by Renato dos Santos Oliveira):
Hey, I think I found the issue here.
Changing as you said `attr = str` to `attr = model.__str__` it makes the
column clickable and adds the field position to the `o` querystring. The
problem is that when it gets to the admin view (here:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/views/main.py#L227-L233)
it verifies first if the attribute is an instance of the model_admin class
and it turns out that ModelAdmin has a __str__ field, not carrying the
`model.__str__.admin_order_field` attribute to the ordering query.
this is the `attr` representation with the `model_admin` elif `<bound
method ModelAdmin.__str__ of <core.admin.QuestionAdmin object at
0x7f82d7bc7748>`
for testing purposes I removed the model_admin and got this
`<function Question.__str__ at 0x7f04c9ea5598>` and it had the
`admin_order_field` attribute, making ordering work properly.
I still don't know how to solve this and would be awesome to have your
help on this.
Thanks
