Charfield case insensitive sorting in Model Admin

[Azam Alias]

Hi,

I am using Django 1.7 on Python 3.4 and quite new to both Django and Python.

I would like to sort a name field (Charfield) in ModelAdmin view in case-insensitive way. The default sorting is case-sensitive.

How could I sort it in case-insensitive?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

One way to do it would be to have add an editable=False field name_sort that's a lower() version of your name field. You can update that field in the save method.

In the admin, you can tell it to order by name_sort using admin_order_field.
