2 years ago Hi. I'm not sure about Django's ordering for related managers, I thought that they would return results using the ordering in the meta. Does the below work for explicit ordering?
class task_edit_inline(InlineFormSetFactory):
...
def get_formset_kwargs(self):
kwargs = super().get_formset_kwargs()
kwargs["queryset"] = self.object.task_set.order_by("task_order", "task_due")
return kwargs

Good day,
I'm not sure if I'm missing something specific in the documentation but I am not able to get inline forms to output to the template with the ordering specified in the model meta. I also could not find a way to change the order_by in the query executed by the InlineFormSetFactory view. No matter what I have tried, inline forms are always rendered in table order (by id).
Model meta ordering is honored in my list and detail views (just not on UpdateWithInlinesView). Am I doing something wrong or is this functioning as designed?
The model in question:
class Tasks(models.Model):class Meta:verbose_name = "project task"verbose_name_plural = "project tasks"ordering = ['task_order', 'task_due']project = models.ForeignKey(Project, on_delete=models.CASCADE)task_order = models.IntegerField('order', blank=True, null=True)user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True)task_type = models.ForeignKey(TaskTypes, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=False)task_start = models.DateField('due', blank=True, null=True)task_due = models.DateField('due', blank=True, null=True)is_started = models.BooleanField('started', default=False)is_complete = models.BooleanField('done', default=False)task_effort = models.DecimalField('est', max_digits=12, decimal_places=2, default=0)task_note = models.CharField('details', max_length=400, blank=True)def __str__(self):return str(self.user) + ' ' + str(self.task_type) + ' ' + str(self.task_due) + ' ' + str(self.task_effort)The inline view:
class task_edit_inline(InlineFormSetFactory):form_class = taskEditFormmodel = Tasksfactory_kwargs = {'extra': 0, 'max_num': None, 'can_order': False, 'can_delete': True}The UpdateWithInlinesView:
class task_grid_edit_view(SuccessMessageMixin, UpdateWithInlinesView):model = Projecttemplate_name = 'otis/edit_task_grid.html'form_class = TaskGridForminlines = [task_edit_inline]success_message = "Tasks updated"def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):context = super(task_grid_edit_view, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)return contextThank you so much for any insight you might have!
