I believe something like this should work.
conversations = sqlalchemy.orm.relationship("Conversation", primaryjoin= """or_(User.id==Conversation.user_id_1, User.id==Conversation.user_id_2, )""", order_by= "Conversation.id.desc()", ) i also think you'll need to make an explicit relationship for a user1 and user2 relationship instead of using back_populates. i could be wrong. personally i would make separate relationships though, because having an undordered list for them makes little sense. -- SQLAlchemy - The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable Example.
