#7181 closed (fixed)

Meta ordering on foreign key field which can be None

Description

I have model A which links to model B (using field b, but A.b can be None). In Meta of A I have ordering set to b.

AFAIK simple A.objects.all() select query contains INNER JOIN (in this case I use sqlite, but probably this problem is more popular) with relation B so if for some instance of A, A.b is None then it will be not included in the results of A.objects.all().

I can confirm that this is also a problem for me (PostgreSQL, latest trunk). See:
my example

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [7761]) Fixed #7181 -- when ordering by a potentially NULL field, use a left-outer join
so that the ordering doesn't accidentally restrict the result set.

(Ironically, one existing test actually showed this problem, but I was too
dumb to notice the result was incorrect.)
