django-orm case-insensitive order by

Question

I know, I can run a case insensitive search from DJango ORM. Like,

User.objects.filter(first_name__contains=\"jake\")
User.objects.filter(first_name__contain         


        

Answer 1

This answer is outdated, check below solution with django 1.8 ->

I found solution using .extra

class MyModelName(models.Model):
   is_mine = models.BooleanField(default=False)
   name = models.CharField(max_length=100)


MyModelName.objects.filter( is_mine=1 ).extra(\
    select={'lower_name':'lower(name)'}).order_by('lower_name')
