I would like to do the same. But if I try
class Meta:
ordering = ['name']
the drop down menu is still ordered by ID and not by name.
Because name is in an other model (foreign key). This is my code:
### CODE ###
class Person(models.Model):
nameLast = models.CharField ('Nachname', maxlength = 31)
nameFirst = models.CharField ('Vorname', maxlength = 31)
address = models.CharField ('Adresse', maxlength = 63)
def __str__(self):
return "%s, %s " % (self.nameLast, self.nameFirst)
class Admin:
list_display = ('nameLast', 'nameFirst', 'address')
fields = (
('Personalien', {'fields': ('nameLast',
'nameFirst', 'address')})
)
class Meta:
ordering = ('nameLast', 'nameFirst', 'location')
verbose_name = "Person"
verbose_name_plural = "Personen"
class Karateka(models.Model):
person = models.ForeignKey (Person, verbose_name = 'Person',
core = True)
bsc = models.BooleanField ('BSC')
comment = models.TextField ('Bemerkung', blank = True, null =
True)
def __str__(self):
return "%s" % (self.person)
class Admin:
list_display = ('person')
fields = (
(None, {'fields': ('person')})
)
def name_last(self):
return "%s" % (self.person.nameLast)
class Meta:
ordering = ('person') ######### I need
to order by "person.nameLast"
verbose_name = 'Karateka'
verbose_name_plural = 'Karatekas'
### END CODE ###
If I try "ordering = ('person.nameLast')" I get the error "Column not
found".
In templates this problem is resolvable. But how can I get an ordered
drop down list
in the admin interface?
