Django ManyToManyField ordering using through

Question

Here is a snippet of how my models are setup:

class Profile(models.Model):     
    name = models.CharField(max_length=32)

    accout = models.ManyToManyFie         


        

Answer 1

Add the related name to ProfileAccounts and then change the ordering in Accounts with that 'related_name__number'. Note two underscores between related_name and number. See below:

class Accounts(models.Model):
    .
    .
    .
    class Meta:
        ordering = ('profile_accounts__number',)


class ProfileAccounts(models.Model):
    .
    .
    .
    account = models.ForeignKey('project.Accounts', related_name='profile_accounts')

    number = models.PositiveIntegerField()

    class Meta:
        ordering = ('number',)
