Question

I jumped into learning django recently.

I am rendering my template with citylist like,

{'citylist': Cities.objects.all()} 

And want to reqroup on country in template (same as in django-docs) below:

{% regroup citylist by country as coutrylist %}  <ul> {% for country in countrylist %}     <li>{{ country.grouper }}     <ul>         {% for c in country.list %}         <li>{{ c.name }}</li>         {% endfor %}     </ul>     </li> {% endfor %} </ul> 

but i get some unextpected results,

France   Strasbourg  Australia   Penrith   Sydney  US   Larsen Bay  France   Reims  US   Avenal 

I dont think i am doing something wrong in my template. Or its a bug??

Answer 1

Problem is not in the code, but with data you are injecting in.

Change your context to

{'citylist': Cities.objects.all().order_by('country')} 

django-docs mentions that

The easiest solution to this gotcha is to make sure in your view code that the data is ordered according to how you want to display it.
