If flat=True, I want to add one more field to merge two lists & provide a custom merge function #11

How can I extend this to add a new field based on which return the results?

For eg. before calling queryList_sort function, I would like to call a custom queryList_merge function.

That should be a pretty easy refactor: I'll just move the merging process to a separate function that you'll be able to overwrite in your view. I'm a little swamped this week, but I'll get to this over the weekend. I'll also add an example of using filter_fn to the documentation, per your other request.

Sorry for the delay -- took me awhile to find the time to make an update. I have moved part of the mixin into a format_data() function, which handles how serialized data is formatted and combined in the running total. You should be able to override that in your specific view to get the functionality you're looking for.

Thanks. This is exactly what I needed. This library is a great help.
