Python Django Rest Framework UnorderedObjectListWarning

Question

I upgraded from Django 1.10.4 to 1.11.1 and all of a sudden I\'m getting a ton of these messages when I run my tests:

lib/python3.5/site-packages/rest_framework/         


        

Answer 1

Update the model meta class instead.

class UsefulModel(models.Model):
    
    class Meta:
        ordering='-created' # for example

you can still override the ordering from the view attribute 'ordering' As advised by AlanSE previously.

class UsefulView(ListView):
    ordering = ['-created']
