order_by (*fields)

This is a handy way to change the order of the items returned. The default order is defined in the model config but can be overridden this way. The method accepts an arbitrary number of strings, each of which refers to the name of a field. If a string is prefixed with a minus sign (-) then the order is reversed.

If two records have the same value for a field, then the ordering is defined on the next argument given. So if you order by ('year', 'name') it will first order by year and within a year it will order by name.

Example

<ul>
{% for project in this.children.order_by('-year', 'name') %}
  <li>{{ project.year }}: {{ project.name }}</li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
