Question

I’ve a query like this:

Listing.objects.all().order_by('-premium', 'title')

It works like expected, returns all premium classes first and then everything ordered by title.

Now I need to randomize only the order of the premium results. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Ok, I think there’s no solution in a single query.
So I’ve solved this using two queries:

premium_results = Listing.objects.filter(premium=True).order_by('?')
normal_results = Listing.objects.filter(premium=False).order_by('title')

results = list(premium_results) + list(normal_results)

Note: I needed a list as output, otherwise you can combine queries results using Django’s Q object.
