I am trying to build the search for a Django site I am building, and in that search, I am searching in 3 different models. And to get pagination on the search result list, I
DATE_FIELD_MAPPING = {
Model1: 'date',
Model2: 'pubdate',
}
def my_key_func(obj):
return getattr(obj, DATE_FIELD_MAPPING[type(obj)])
And then sorted(chain(Model1.objects.all(), Model2.objects.all()), key=my_key_func)
