Allow users to sort in ascending order using radio button django

Time:10-15

I have a web page as shown below, the web page able to display the data in the form of a table, I have also implemented the search bar and the page filter and is both working, right now I am try to allow the users to sort the data in ascending order. For example, the customer name will start from A (Airasia) to Z(Zasia) and the part number will start from 1(01232) to 9(999). How do i do that and also at the same time when it is sort in ascending order, both the search bar and the filter pages is also working.

UPDATE: The Url is able to show the stuff that i click on but the data is just not sorting in order as shown in the image below.

enter image description here

CodePudding user response:

in your views.py there is some logic problem because if a user tries to sort your data
by unexisting fields the you will have 500 error.i remove that bugs by doing this.

    search_post = request.GET.get('q')

    return render(request, 'ViewMCO.html', context)

html
in sort by there is some modification to do.i change the value to value='{{ request.GET.sortType }}' and also i put action="" this means that use the current url.

<div class="sort">
           <h5 class="col-md-3">Sort By : </h5>


                <div id="sortBlock" class="col-md-9">
                    <form class="form-inline my-2 my-lg-0" action="" method='GET' value='{{ request.GET.sortType }}'>
                   
                    <div class="sort">
                        <input type="radio" id="partno" name="sortType" value="partno">
                        <label for="partno">Part Number</label>
                    </div>

                     <div class="sort">
                        <input type="radio" id="serialno" name="sortType" value="serialno">
                        <label for="serialno">Serial Number</label>
                    </div>

                     <div class="sort">
                        <input type="radio" id="receptionno" name="sortType" value="receptionno">
                        <label for="receptionno">Reception Number</label>
                    </div>

                    <div class="sort">
                        <input type="radio" id="mcoNum" name="sortType" value="mcoNum">
                        <label for="mcoNum">MCO Number</label>
                    </div>

                    <div class="sort">
                        <input type="radio" id="Customername" name="sortType" value="Customername">
                        <label for="Customername">Customer Name</label>
                    </div>
                         <div class="sort">
                        <input type="Submit" value="Sort"/>
                    </div>
                    </form>
                </div>
         </div>

now we have to work on pagination(we have to add order_by to the pagination part)

{% if allusername.has_other_pages %}

  <ul class="pagination pr-3 mr-1 ml-auto">

    {% if allusername.has_previous %}
      <li><a href="?q={{ query|urlencode }}&sortType={{ order_by }}&page={{ allusername.previous_page_number }}">&laquo;</a></li>
    {% else %}
      <li class="disabled"><span>&laquo;</span></li>
    {% endif %}
    {% for i in allusername.paginator.page_range %}
      {% if allusername.number == i %}
        <li class="active"><span>{{ i }} <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></span></li>
      {% else %}
        <li><a href="?q={{ query|urlencode }}&sortType={{ order_by }}&page={{ i }}">{{ i }}</a></li>
      {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    {% if allusername.has_next %}
      <li><a href="?q={{ query|urlencode }}&sortType={{ order_by }}&page={{ allusername.next_page_number }}">&raquo;</a></li>
    {% else %}
      <li class="disabled"><span>&raquo;</span></li>
    {% endif %}
    </ul>
    {% endif %}

I think That all you need.if you have some questions please ask them in the comment below.
