Description
In the documentation (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/options/#django.db.models.Options.get_latest_by) , models.Options.get_latest_by specifies that DateField and DateTimeField are the only types supported for get_latest_by. In fact, any orderable field type is supported (https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/models/query.py#L477). The documentation should simply replace "The name of a DateField or DateTimeField in the model." with "The name of a field in the model - typically a DateField, DateTimeField, or IntegerField."
Using get_latest_by('id') is very useful for large tables where reverse sorting by 'id' is a proxy for latest.
