We need to see your view code. I’m assuming now that you don’t have category_list in your context variable that you submitted to the template.

So, I've changed the code using your help to: {% if category_list %} {% for category in category_list %} <li><strong>{{ category }}</strong></li> <ul> {% for model in category.model_set %} <li> <a href="{{ model.get_absolute_url }}"> {{ model.model_number }}..........{{ model.description }} </a> </li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% endfor %} {% else %} <p>There is no equipment in the database</p> {% endif %} {% endblock %} However, this just prints "There is no equipment in the database". Am I missing something? I will try to experiment a little more.

It’s only because of Django’s models.Model class. That will likely cause confusion in the future for you. You’ll want to work with the Category model primarily and use a reverse lookup to get to the corresponding “Model” instead of working with a model_list. The reverse lookup of category to model is model_set by default. You can change the name if you want. {% for category in category_list %} <strong>{{ category }}</strong> <ul> {% for model in category.model_set %} <li><a href="{{ model.get_absolute_url }}">{{ model }}</a></li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% empty %} <p>There is no equipment in the database with a category.</p> {% endfor %} Check out https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/db/examples/many_to_one/ From: django...@googlegroups.com<javascript:> [mailto:django...@googlegroups.com<javascript:>] On Behalf Of Jay Sent: Monday, August 27, 2018 8:02 AM To: Django users Subject: Printing model fields organized by category I have a Class called "Model" that has a field called "model_numbers". I have another class called "Category" that has a field called "category". In the Model Class, I have a field called category that is a Foreign Key to the field category in the Class category. [Screen Shot 2018-08-27 at 8.58.54 AM.png] Also, here is the html that prints the modeul_number and category fields: [Screen Shot 2018-08-27 at 9.01.10 AM.png] What the code is printing: CATEGORY 1: - Field 1 - Field 2 - Field 3 CATEGORY 2: - Field 1 - Field 2 - Field 3 What I want it to print is: CATEGORY 1: - Field 1 - Field 2 CATEGORY 2: - Field 3 In this way it prints out all the model numbers under their respective category name (instead of all model numbers under every category, which is not correct as each model number only has one category). I posted about this on stackoverflow, and received a response but I am still confused. <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51882942/how-can-i-organize-a-list-of-fields-based-on-another-field> Thank you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
