order_with_respect_to uses the Question classes' ordering, where just ordering would use the string representation of that question. So using the example of questions and answers from the docs if Question had a 'sequence' field, and Question meta.ordering was set to use sequence, the answers would use that sequence. If using ordering instead of order_with_respect_to, then the questions would be in alphabetical question order. At least thats how I understand it. -Preston -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
