> At the very least I think this (current behaviour) needs to be clearly
documented as a part of both the `Meta.ordering` and aggregation docs,
however to be honest I would prefer the previous behaviour. It feels very
surprising that Django will silently drop part of its model configuration
in some cases!
> At least if this were documented people could see what those cases were,
however at the moment the only way to know is when you're bitten by the
issue described here.
The previous behavior was implicit, unexpected, and caused many support
questions. We reached the consensus that removing any default ordering for
grouped queries is the right thing to do. You can always add `order_by()`
(as [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/db/aggregation
/#interaction-with-order-by documented]).
You can start a discussion on DevelopersMailingList if you don't agree,
but I don't think there would be consensus to restore it. Personally, I'm
strongly against it.
