django sort descending
To sort a queryset in Django in descending order, you can use the order_by()
method along with the -
(minus) sign before the field name. Here are the steps to achieve this:
- Start by importing the model you want to query. For example, if you have a model called "MyModel", you would import it like this:
from myapp.models import MyModel
- Next, define your queryset by calling the
objects
attribute on your model. For example:
queryset = MyModel.objects.all()
- To sort the queryset in descending order, use the
order_by()
method and prefix the field name with a minus sign. For example, if you want to sort by the "name" field in descending order, you would write:
queryset = queryset.order_by('-name')
- Optionally, you can chain multiple fields to perform a multi-level sort. For example, if you also want to sort by the "date" field in descending order, you would write:
queryset = queryset.order_by('-name', '-date')
- Finally, you can iterate over the sorted queryset to access the sorted results. For example:
for item in queryset:
# Access item attributes or perform desired operations
By following these steps, you can sort a queryset in Django in descending order using the order_by()
method with the minus sign (-
) before the field name.
