Question

I’m using django-haystack for a search page on my site, and I want to order all the results by their content type. Is there a way I can do that?
To make it simpler, suppose I have a single application and several classes.
Thanks in advance

from How to order search results by Model:

You can do
SearchQuerySet().order_by('django_ct').
As a warning, this throws out
relevancy. The only way to keep
relevancy & group by model is either
to run many queries (one per model –
usually performant thanks to query
caching) or to run the query and
post-process the results, regrouping
them as you go.

from searchindex api:

Haystack reserves the following field
names for internal use: id, django_ct,
django_id & content. The name & type
names used to be reserved but no
longer are.

You can override these field names
using the HAYSTACK_ID_FIELD,
HAYSTACK_DJANGO_CT_FIELD &
HAYSTACK_DJANGO_ID_FIELD if needed.
