Sorting related items in a Django template

Question

Is it possible to sort a set of related items in a DJango template?

That is: this code (with HTML tags omitted for clarity):

{% for event in eventsCo         


        

Answer 1

You can use template filter dictsort https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#std:templatefilter-dictsort

This should work:

{% for event in eventsCollection %}
   {{ event.location }}
   {% for attendee in event.attendee_set.all|dictsort:"last_name" %}
     {{ attendee.first_name }} {{ attendee.last_name }}
   {% endfor %}
 {% endfor %}
