Note that ``earliest()`` and ``latest()`` exist purely for convenience and

.. admonition:: ``earliest()`` and ``latest()`` may return instances with null dates.
Since ordering is delegated to the database, results on fields that allow
null values may be ordered differently if you use different databases. For
example, PostgreSQL and MySQL sort null values as if they are higher than
non-null values, while SQLite does the opposite.
You may want to filter out null values::
Entry.objects.filter(pub_date__isnull=False).latest('pub_date')
``earliest()``
