6. Specifying ordering
|
|
|
|
Specify default ordering for a model using the ``ordering`` attribute, which
|
|
should be a list or tuple of field names. This tells Django how to order
|
|
queryset results.
|
|
|
|
If a field name in ``ordering`` starts with a hyphen, that field will be
|
|
ordered in descending order. Otherwise, it'll be ordered in ascending order.
|
|
The special-case field name ``"?"`` specifies random order.
|
|
|
|
The ordering attribute is not required. If you leave it off, ordering will be
|
|
undefined -- not random, just undefined.
