Hi - I understand that django does order_by on the database level, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the "django-like" way of doing an order_by but using a model method or property?
Basically I have names associated with a group model, where the first entries are always first names and the last entry is the family name (yeah, it gets a little more complicated with spouses who don't take each other's last names, but that's another issue). So I have a list like: John and Jane Smith Dave and Harriet Johnson etc... I want to order by the last name, which I can do with a simple .split() [-1] if I make my own separate list, and then do a parallel sort, but I'd like to keep things within the framework if possible. Should I be subclassing Manager or QuerySet or something else? It looks like the business part of what's going on here is in _QuerySet under _get_sql_clause, where the SQL language is just generated. Is there another way to make this work? -jsnyder --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
