排序中的非ormable（mongodb）

Question

I have constructed an django-tastypie api.It returns data when i hit the url. I want the data to be sorted based on date. The problem is its a character field

Resource Code:

class myResource(Resource):
  date = fields.CharField(attribute='date', default=None)
  time = fields.CharField(attribute='time', default=None)
  myid = fields.FloatField(attribute='newsid', default=None)

  class Meta:
    resource_name = 'data'
    object_class = dict2obj

  def obj_get_list(self, bundle, **kwargs):
    bundle = []

    #get_data fetches data from mongodb

    content = self.get_data()

    #content is a dict    

    for key, value in content.items():
      value['myid'] = key
      bundle.append(dict2obj(value))

    #bundle is a list

    return bundle

Url Hit Returns:

    [{
        date: "2013-09-24 08:56:00.000",
        myid: 266131,
        time: "08:56"
    },
    {
        date: "2013-09-24 09:43:00.000",
        myid: 266151,
        resource_uri: "/api/eboss/news/266151/"

    }]

Answer 1

I don't know your dict2obj , but if date and time are really date and time, then using tastypie.fields.DateField and tastypie.fields.TimeField respectively are more appropriate.

To do sorting, You can override apply_sorting(obj_list, options=None) function, where options is dictionary containing query parameters (GET method).
