 Query expressions cannot currently be used with admin_order_field in a
 callable on list_display. The code expects a string and crashes when an
 query expression object is passed instead. This example shows the problem:

 {{{
 def full_name(obj):
     return f'{obj.first_name} {obj.last_name}'
 my_callable.admin_order_field = Concat(F('first_name'), F('last_name'))
 }}}

 ... which leads to a crash like this:

 {{{
 ...
     self.queryset = self.get_queryset(request)
   File "/Users/andreas/code/django/django/contrib/admin/views/main.py",
 line 346, in get_queryset
     ordering = self.get_ordering(request, qs)
   File "/Users/andreas/code/django/django/contrib/admin/views/main.py",
 line 260, in get_ordering
     if order_field.startswith('-') and pfx == "-":
 AttributeError: 'CombinedExpression' object has no attribute 'startswith'
 }}}

 It would make sense to be able to make use of all the nice stuff that has
 gone into query expression from the admin in this case! :)
