Re: FieldError: Invalid order_by arguments: ['- pub_date']

Yes, that worked. Someone better fix that mistake in the tutorial. Also the template for index.html is also wrong, by changing line 4 to

<li><a href="{{ question.id }}/"> {{ question.question_text }}</a></li>

it now works.

order_by does not allow spaces between the minus sign and field name,
if you use order_by('-pub_date'), it should work fine.
