Description
In any model, if we have multiple ordering:
class Meta:
ordering = ['one_field', 'another_field']
admin mode only sort the model by the first field ('one_field' in example) and not only by all specified fields, as it were the right thing
It's not a bug (see discussion: http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/c74afae800fda0b9/7c744053660b8a82#7c744053660b8a82) but it could be an enhancement

You could mark as "open" and "another branch". With that, it does not annoy us and we remember it

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Given the difficulties in making this work sensibly in the UI (which is the reason for the current behaviour), I'm going to close this ticket for now. If/when somebody comes up with code that implements the feature, they can open a ticket and attach their patch. Until then, though, having an open ticket about such an item is only going to fill up the list of open tickets. It's not something we're likely to work on as a priority.
