I am new to both django and python but I am beginning to get a grasp on things. I think. I have this problem and I can not seem to find an answer to it. my problem is in django queryset order_by clause

pp=Loksabha.objects.filter(state_name='MAHARASHTRA',constituency_name='Kolhapur').order_by('lok_sabha')

pp result is

Fifteenth Lok Sabha(2009-14)
Eleventh Lok Sabha(1996-98)
Fourteenth Lok Sabha(2004-09)
Tenth Lok Sabha(1991-96)
Thirteenth Lok Sabha(1999-04)
Sixth Lok Sabha(1977-79)
Ninth Lok Sabha(1989-91)
Seventh Lok Sabha(1980-84)
Fifth Lok Sabha(1971-77)
Fourth Lok Sabha(1967-71)
Second Lok Sabha(1957-62)
Twelfth Lok Sabha(1998-99)

but i want to result like this formt

Fifteenth Lok Sabha(2009-14)
Fourteenth Lok Sabha(2004-09)

Sixth Lok Sabha(1977-79)
Fifth Lok Sabha(1971-77)

my model is:

class Loksabha(models.Model):
    lok_sabha = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    member_name =  models.CharField(max_length=255)
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    constituency_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    party_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    state_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

please give me proper solution.

Answer 1

The result of your queryset should be ordered by the attribute lok_sabbah in alphabetical order from the code you wrote here. Meanwhile, I don't know what you're using when 'printing' your model.

Could you copy/paste us your str method to be sure of the printed result?

Maybe, you just need an order_by(pk) if the names follow the order of their creation...
