Hello,
Would the below be an OK way to sort __unicode__ in the admin list_display?
Model:
def uni_sort(self):
return self.__unicode__()
uni_sort.admin_order_field = 'sort'
uni_sort.short_description = _(u'name')
Admin:
list_display = ('uni_sort', 'parent', 'name', 'slug',)
...
To save ya'll some time, the docs say:
[[
The __str__() and __unicode__() methods are just as valid in
list_display as any other model method, so it's perfectly OK to do
this:
list_display = ('__unicode__', 'some_other_field')
Usually, elements of list_display that aren't actual database fields
can't be used in sorting (because Django does all the sorting at the
database level).
However, if an element of list_display represents a certain database
field, you can indicate this fact by setting the admin_order_field
attribute of the item.
]]
Unless I'm mistaken, this does not work:
__unicode__.admin_order_field = 'sort'
Otherwise I could just do this:
list_display = ('__unicode__', 'parent', 'name', 'slug',)
My question:
Is it overkill to create a method, that returns the __unicode__ value,
just for the sake of being able to order on the "sort" field?
Thanks!
Cheers,
M
