... or to any other special order. For me was creazy that I was not able to sort items (names) in IS_IN_DB lists alphabetically. IS_IN_DB has lot of undocumented questions but I think nothing can help.
Of course when running from Postgres, you will receive records with proper locale order. However with SQLite you need (maybe) a hacked and special compiled SQLite to have correct order. Otherwise you start with uppercase ascii, then follow lowercase ascii, and at the end are accented (non-ascii) characters. Crazy. Now I use this hack in my model: import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'cs_CZ.UTF-8') class IS_IN_DB_(IS_IN_DB): def build_set(self): super(IS_IN_DB_, self).build_set() records = [(lbl, self.theset[pos]) for pos, lbl in enumerate(self. labels)] records.sort(key=lambda x: locale.strxfrm(x[0])) self.labels = [rec[0] for rec in records] self.theset = [rec[1] for rec in records] db.define_table('payment', Field('idauth_user', 'reference auth_user', requires=IS_EMPTY_OR( IS_IN_DB_(db, db.auth_user.id, '%(nick)s'))), ...) Not optimal, but works ! -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
