What do you mean by 'row' and 'column' here? Are you referring to
database rows/columns?
You can get the second Person object in your result set by doing
persons[2], and get the last_name field by doing persons[2].last_name,
but the 'third column' has no particular meaning in Django, because a
model is not a database object and its fields have no particular
order.
I don't understand the reference to ifchanged, or what it has to do
with columns and rows.
