Re: ordering a model on multiple fields?

[Ben Atkin]

I spoke too soon! While I was writing the blog entry, I realized that due to
some fixture mistake, I hadn't shuffled the data that I was sorting, so it
was sorted properly without my help! I fixed the glaring mistake, and then
realized that column sorting isn't applied by
django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin, but by
django.contrib.admin.views.main.ChangeList. I subclassed ChangeList, and
made the ModelAdmin use the subclassed ChangeList by overriding the
get_changelist() method, and I'm pretty sure it's working now.

I have a solution for you:

http://github.com/benatkin/tuneage/blob/master/tunes/admin.py

I'm going to post a blog entry to http://python-web.blogspot.com/ explaining
my code, but it might take a little while. In the meantime, let me know if
you need any help understanding the code, or run into any issues.

The Django *admin* only uses one field, ever.

Bit of an irritating limitation, I grant you, but with the use of date
hierarchies and list filters it's not too bad.

ordering a model on multiple fields?

[hjebbers]

is there a way to have a model class sorted on multiple fields?
in the meta class of my models I set the ordering, but django uses
only the first field for ordering;
a second field is just ignored.

(I am aware that if a users starts to sort using table headers in the
admin interface only one field will be used. It would just be great to
have the initial ordering on 2 fields.)
