This works for me. My model: class BannerPosition(models.Model): position = models.SmallIntegerField() banner = models.ForeignKey(BannerItem) class Meta: ordering = ('position', 'banner') def __str__(self): return '%s - %s' % (self.banner.name, self.position) class Admin: pass
which is sorted via Class Meta. than my view: import random def banner(request, object_id): """ get the banners check if random or sorted. """ object = Banner.objects.select_related().get(id=object_id) objectMain = object object = object.banners.all() object = list(object) if objectMain.randomize: random.shuffle(object) return render_to_response('playlist.xml', {'object': object}) it checks if the "randomize" field is set in the banner object., if so it takes the list (you need to convert it to a list for shuffle to work) and shuffles it. than passes it on. works fine for me. o On Oct 1, 6:29 pm, "Alessandro Ronchi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I tried to reate a random view with the code on the bottom.
