Hi Vibhu,
You have more than one option, I think:
1)Modify model's Meta class and add an order_by =
('-comment__creation_date',)
2)Make a view that does just that last_threads_commented =
Thread.comments.order_by('-comment__creation_date')
3)Make a custom template tag that does all of the heavy lifting behind the
scenes.
disclaimer: I am not really sure if you can employed any of the methods
listed here on a Generic Model tho, use at your own risk...
thank you,
Victor Rocha
