Hi guys, as I understand, m2m with intermediate model and ordering is a bit (at least) tricky:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11850 I need the ordering in my serialised data. The serialiser must of course be independent of any names, so I use introspection so far. Code so far is here: def serialise(obj): serialised_data = {} serialised_data["item_type"] = obj._meta.object_name fields = obj._meta.fields for field in fields: name = field.name value = field.value_from_object(obj) serialised_data[name] = value Now, I know I can get the m2m fields with: for many_to_many in many_to_manys: field_name = many_to_many.name But then I'm stuck. How can I get the ordering, which is defined in the intermediate table (the "through" model)? I couldn't use the reverse trick (in the example in the Django ticket, link above) like this: beatles.membership_set.all() as I would need to know the name in advance. Or is there some introspection magic that gets me the reverse name, which can of course be user defined in the intermediate table by "related_name"? Hm, hm, hm, I'm stuck at this ordering problem for over a week. Any help is desperately ;-) appreciated. Cheers, Jan rel_objs = getattr(obj, field_name).all() -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
