The `ModelAdmin` class allows to specify properties from the model in
`list_display`.
Normally non-fields cannot be sorted. This can be changed by setting
`admin_order_field`. This doesn't work on properties, while it is possible
to do so with `short_description`.
The
[[https://github.com/django/django/blob/e4df8e6dc021fa472fa77f9b835db74810184748/django/contrib/admin/utils.py#L345|code]]
that checks for `short_description` checks if it handles a property and
returns `attr.fget.short_description` if available.
The files that check for `admin_order_field` do not handle the case that
it might be a property.
The relevant files are probably:
- django/contrib/admin/views/main.py

- django/contrib/admin/templatetags/admin_list.py
