Excel Sorting

[Gregory Strydom]

Hey all.

I am just curious, is there any to do Excel style filtering in Django? Eg: Sort by date , category etc

The closest thing i have seen which resembles something like that is dictsort() or regroup(), but i have no idea how that would work for what i want. The only other option i could think of would be javascript, but again i dont know if that is needed if django does it naturally.

Thank you for any help with this!

Sorry i forgot to mention the filtering/sorting should be done in the view so the user can simply click on a button and sort by date, category etc

You have three ways you can do this:

- In the browser with Javascript, with all the data stored in the page (as a javascript array).

- In the browser with Javascript and a REST call to Django to get the data (in JSON for example).

- With a url that reloads the page with different parameters to sort/filter the data.

Also check out django-tables2, which includes the sorting magic you are looking for. It uses the third option that François outlined below.
