Django: __in query lookup doesn't maintain the order in queryset

Question

I have ID\'s in a specific order

>>> album_ids = [24, 15, 25, 19, 11, 26, 27, 28]
>>> albums = Album.objects.filter( id__in=album_ids, publi         


        

Answer 1

You can do it in Django via ORM using the extra QuerySet modifier

>>> album_ids = [24, 15, 25, 19, 11, 26, 27, 28]
>>> albums = Album.objects.filter( id__in=album_ids, published= True
             ).extra(select={'manual': 'FIELD(id,%s)' % ','.join(map(str, album_ids))},
                     order_by=['manual'])
