Python Django Rest Framework UnorderedObjectListWarning

In my case, I had to add order_by('id') instead of ordering.

class IntakeCaseViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    schema = None
    queryset = IntakeCase.objects.all().order_by('id')

Ordering needs to be in the model using Class Meta (not View).


So in order to fix this I had to find all of the all, offset, filter, and limit clauses and add a order_by clause to them. Some I fixed by adding a default ordering:

class Meta:
   ordering = ['-id']

In the ViewSets for Django Rest Framework (app/apiviews.py) I had to update all of the get_queryset methods as adding a default ordering didn't seem to work.

Hope this helps someone else. :)


I was getting this warning when i used objects.all() in my view.py

profile_list = Profile.objects.all()
paginator = Paginator(profile_list, 25)

to fix this i changed my code to :

profile_list = Profile.objects.get_queryset().order_by('id')
paginator = Paginator(profile_list, 25)
