Django Admin: Ordering of ForeignKey and ManyToManyField relations referencing User

Question

I have an application that makes use of Django\'s UserProfile to extend the built-in Django User model. Looks a bit like:

class Us         


        

Answer 1

This

class Meta:
    ordering = ['username']

should be

    ordering = ['user__username']

if it's in your UserProfile admin class. That'll stop the exception, but I don't think it helps you.

Ordering the User model as you describe is quite tricky, but see http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6089#comment:8 for a solution.
