Re: "Polls" app in Django Beginners' Tutorial

Perhaps you forgot the '-' before pub_date?

I have a question about the "Polls" app, as described in the Django Beginners' Tutorial, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/.  In tutorial 3, the index view contains the following code:

 

latest_question_list = Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]

 

It is stated that this produces the latest 5 questions according to publication date.  The '-' in front of 'pub_date' is intended to return the questions in descending rather than ascending order of publication date.  Yet when I tried this out, it returns the *earliest* 5 questions in my database.  Is this an error, or (more likely), have I done something wrong?

 

Thanks for any advice!
