Appengine filter inequality and ordering fails

Question

I think I\'m overlooking something simple here, I can\'t imagine this is impossible to do.

I want to filter by a datetime attribute and then order the result by a rankin

Answer 1

The datastore isn't capable of ordering a query that contains an inequality by any property other than the one used in the inequality.

This can often be worked around by adding a property that can be filtered with an equality; in this case, it may be possible to have a BooleanProperty tracking whether an entity is from the current week, and update it for all entities at the end of each week.
