Prevent sorting in admin
Picture the following model and admin: class Section(models.Model): position = models.PositiveIntegerField(editable=False) title = models.CharField(max_length=200) class SectionAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ['title'] ordering = [ 'position'] The position is a column that will be automatically populated. This column is not editable and will not show up in the admin list display. However, I would like to prevent the admin page from being able to sort on any other column. The column headers need to not be clickable and sort-able. Is there any easy way to do this? I have dug around the docs and looked through the source a good bit, but couldn't find any straight-forward way of accomplishing this without heavily customizing the admin app. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

There are some options:
Search for
http://www.google.com/search?q=ModelAdmin+__
You'll find http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10743
"Support lookup separators in ModelAdmin.list_display"
If this "bug" were fixed, your problem would be solved
Would search work as an alternative??
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.search_fields
search_fields = ['foreign_key__related_fieldname']
i.e.
search_fields = ['user__email']
You can filter on them on the right ( this isn't going to work for names)
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.list_filter
ModelAdmin.list_filter supports __

Re: sorting in /admin
yeah we want it split into first name and last name. That part is
working fine... i'm just trying to figure out how to get the column
sortable by clicking on the column header.

Re: sorting in /admin
Hmm i dont know but if you dont realy need 2 separate colums for name
and surname you can define in Customer __unicode__ like that:
def __unicode__(self):
return self.lastName + " " + self.firstName
and then in list_diplay = ['CustomerId'],
but that solution could give ou another problems

how else would you pull in information from another model into the

Re: sorting in /admin
Why are you doing this way ?
The better idea is to make it that way:
class YourModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
model = YourModel
list_display = [ 'firstName', 'lastName' ]
admin.site.register(YourModel, YourModelAdmin)
and i'm sure then you will be able to sort olums

sorting in /admin
I am listing the following fields from the model in /admin as follows:
[...snip...]
def Client_Lastname(self, obj):
return obj.CustomerId.lastName
def Client_Firstname(self, obj):
return obj.CustomerId.firstName
list_display = ('Client_Firstname', 'Client_Lastname', )
[...snip...]
The Firstname and Lastname fields from the Client model drop right
into the list fine but I cannot sort on these fields when i click the
column header. What do I need to do to make them sortable?
