18875	Document that models.Options.get_latest_by supports integers	Adam Nelson	Dan Loewenherz	"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."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.4	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	1	0
