I have tried every which way to produce a case-insenstive list of
substances in the Admin including this:
def get_queryset(self, request):
return super(SubstanceAdmin,
self).get_queryset(request).order_by(Lower('name').asc())
Which DOES work (as proven via print statement) but doesn't display that
way in the Admin which uses the natural ascii order. It is the
list_display feature which re-orders the substances.
I can get them sorting pseudo-insensitively by using a method to
uppercase the first char of the name and passing that method to
list_display.
However, that prevents the column order reversal feature which is a
function of the list_display feature.
I thought a case insensitive model manager might work until I saw in the
docs that subsequent order_by filtering will spoil it and I would still
have to pseudo_name them anyway.
So the question is ... should I bite the bullet and add a sort field to
the model and fill it with the substance name converted to lower-case?
Thanks
Mike
