Create sort_ function for functional field

Support Developer

Hi,

I was reading the docs about functions to order funtional fields [6], [7] and reviewing some examples on tryton git [0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] but I could not find and example on how to use for a specific case that have.

Basically I have a model to record the gathering moves of every month and a group. Every group have more than 5 people, it will vary:

Moves:

Group, Month, Date,

Moves Lines:

Move, Party, Amount

I added a custom field that calculate on Party that get the sum of the move lines and it works fine, but I wish to order from highest to lowest.

Where could I find an example of how can order these type of field?

Thanks in advance!

There is no such example because it would be resource consuming.

Any way, you have to make a join (adding to tables argument) with a query the will return the party id and the SUM. Then you return the clause to order with the SUM column of your query.

I just updated the training module with an example of an “order” method implementation:

Search for “Defining a order method”

Edit : For your use case, you would have to add an entry in the “tables” dict which is a full sub-query.
