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.
