Description

I'd like to do this on my model:

class Meta:

ordering = ['?tutor', 'title']

Indicating that results should be grouped by tutor, then sorted by title, but where the ordering of tutors should be random. I realise this is quite low priority and can probably be achieved in other ways, but is seems overkill to have to override the objects Manager class to achieve it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but there isn't likely to be a sane way to do something like this in the ORM. Managers are actually the perfect thing for defining such a narrow and specific behavior.
