The problem is not about sorting. The problem is that you cannot get
more than 1000 entries.
You need to "paginate" on the last_name property (if it is guaranteed
to be unique).
all_students = [ ]
next = ''
while True:
students = Student.all().order('last_name').filter('last_name >',
next).fetch(100)
if students:
all_students.extends(students)
next = all_students[-1].last_name
else:
break
Just pay attention that the code above may use too much CPU time if
you really have a lot of entries.
