Wow, you are right. This is a tricky lookup. The generic relation makes it pretty tough. I'd just use the python sort unless you see a real performance problem.
class LinkGetTopScores(models.Manager): def get_top_score(self): return sorted(self.all(), key=lambda n: n.get_score) Maybe you need to make it n.get_score(), instead of n.get_score in the lambda.
