I was just starting to write "It doesn't work" when I found this here: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1767/ class LazyChoiceField(forms.ChoiceField): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): # remove choices from kwargs self._lazy_choices = kwargs.pop('choices',()) super(LazyChoiceField,self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) def __deepcopy__(self, memo): result = super(LazyChoiceField,self).__deepcopy__(memo) result.choices = self._lazy_choices result.choices.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(x[1], y[1])) return result Just needed to add the line with the sorting to the snippet. Well, actually I don't really understand why it works and when django calls the __deepcopy__, but supposedly it is called after the translation takes place, so this is an effective solution. Could be generalized further (not hardcode the sorting function), but for now it does the job. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
