Description

Joel Pearson raised an interesting idea on ML, about allowing paginate decorator to specify the default ordering with multiple fields.

People discussed the idea and came to these:

  • default_reversed should be deprecated (with a warning).
  • default_order can be a single string or a list of strings.
  • default_order="-foobar" means (default_order="foobar", default_reversed=True)
  • default_order=["foo", "-bar", "cuz"] means: order by foo ASC, bar DESC, cuz ASC (in SQL dialect :) )
  • trying to use default_order=["foo", "-bar"] and default_reversed is an error.
