24747	Allow transforms in order_by	Ben Buchwald	Matthew Wilkes	"The extension of lookups to support transforms is great, but I'd like to be able to order by a transformed field.

As a use case, let's say I define a length transform. I filter by length such as {{{Song.objects.filter(title__length__gt=10)}}}, but I think it makes sense that I ought to also be able to sort by this transform, for instance: {{{Song.objects.all().order_by('title__length')}}}

The related ticket #24629 points out that Func expressions should be usable as transforms. Although in 1.8 I could get the desired sort by ordering by the Length func expression, I feel that the reverse should also be true, that I should be able to order by a transform."
