I am currently learning Python and Django via building a simple Web
application. It involves objects with character fields that take values in
different languages (French and Spanish) and I face an issue with sorting
on those values in the Django administration site.
Here are sample sets:
French: dataFr = ['être', 'gronder', 'gérer', 'éviter', 'exiger']
Spanish: dataEs = ['dos', 'acompasar', 'acompañar', 'día']
The following works fine in Python:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,"fr_FR.utf8")
sorted(dataFr, key=locale.strxfrm)
> ['être', 'éviter', 'exiger', 'gérer', 'gronder'] #which is the desired
result.
sorted(dataEs, key=locale.strxfrm)
> ['acompañar', 'acompasar', 'día', 'dos'] #which is also the desired
result.
(French as well as Spanish local settings seem to work indifferently for
sorting French and Spanish)
In Django, the simplified model is as follows:
from django import models
class Word(models.Model):
content = models.CharField(max_length=32, unique=True)
class Meta:
abstract = True
class FrenchWord(Word)
The relevant part of the admin.py file is:
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import FrenchWord
@admin.register(FrenchWord)
class FrenchWord(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('content',)
ordering = ('content',)
Now my question is how to enforce ordering according to the fr_FR.utf8
locale? I have tried all kinds of stuff, taking inspiration from various
sites, but I do not succeed.
Thanks in advance.
