Hi all
I was struggling to turn a typical template dictionary iteration use
case into a sorted dictionary iteration, and struggling to find any way
of managing it.
Eg:
{% for key, val in tdict.items %}....{% endfor %}
After perusing docs, and the internet, it seemed like there was no
straightforward way to manage to turn this into a sorted dictionary
iteration, apart from altering the data structure outside the template.
Finally, we looked at the source code for the dictsort filter, and it
seems like this would work to produce the desired result:
{% for key, val in tdict.items|dictsort:"0" %}....{% endfor %}
and, indeed, it does the trick.
However, the documentation for dictsort indicates that it is for sorting
lists of dictionaries, and this behaviour seems to happen by
coincidence. If I use this construct, is it likely to fail in the
future, or is this actually intended usage?
Cheers
Tom
