Trying to sort a object inside another object. I want to sort by A-name, that is showned in a dropdown. Anyone that a have a idea?

Class A(models.model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

Class B(models.model):
    value = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    value2 = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    a = models.ForeignKey(A)

Class BForm(Forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta: 
        def myPage()
            myVar = BForm()

I believe it is just as simple as this:

aObjects = A.objects.order_by('name')[:30]

You can set ordering attribute of Meta class of A.

So you can define A as

Class A(models.model) :
    name = models.charfield(max.length=200);

    class Meta:
         ordering = ['name']

Perfect! I had look at that solution, but I thougt it would sort a list not a single object. Thanks again. – kingRauk Apr 19 '13 at 13:44
