Anyone figure out a sort algorithm to do this please?

list = 
DateTimeDuration.objects.all().filter(date=now).order_by('resource','start')
max_hours = 8

this produces

Resource – start – duration – user-name

 

Item - 9 - 4 - T Test 
Item- 10 - 4 - Alpha Bravo 
Item - 14 - 2 - Herod First


what I need is to sort it so that it outputs like this:


Item - 9 - 4 - T Test

Item - 14 - 2 - Herod First

Item - 10 - 4 - Alpha Bravo


The parameters are:


There are 8 hours in a day (max_hours = 8)


the list of objects  need to be sorted in such a way that if 2 or more 
objects combined duration is less than 8 then they need to be sorted in 
order of start time but if the start time of another object 

is the same or the start time is within the duration of an object then it 
must be shuffled backwards


As an adder:


Each resource has a finite number so is  there a way to utilise the max 
number of resources within a resource so that we know how many resources 
are unused?


MODEL for info


class Resource(models.Model):
    resource = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    resource_capacity = models.IntegerField()
    seating = models.IntegerField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.resource

class User(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    email = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)
    tel = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)


class DateTimeDuration(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    resource = models.ForeignKey(Resource)
    date = models.DateField()
    start = models.IntegerField(max_length=5, help_text="whole number like 
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17")
    hours = models.IntegerField(max_length=2, help_text="Number of hours as 
a whole number like 3")

    class Meta:
        verbose_name_plural = 'Booking Date-Time-Duration'
        ordering = ('date',)


Anyone point me in the right direction please?
