Re: How to get as result a list of all the users ordered by birthday (month day), ignoring year

Hi Roberta,

I haven't tested it but assuming you want the ordering to happen within the database you may be able to do it with a combination of TIMESTAMPDIFF and MOD.

Something like MOD( TIMESTAMPDIFF( 'SECOND', birthday, '1900-01-01'), 31556951) assuming you're using MySQL.

On average there are 365.2425 days per year, which equates to 31,556,951 seconds.

Dear Roy

I had already seen that link. But I didn't like the solution. Anyway it works, so I am using it for while.

Thank you

In models:

birthday = models.DateField()

def birthday_month_day(self):

      # returns month and day

      return '12-31' 

In views, I expect to see something pythonic like this:

User.objects.all().order_by('birthday_month_day')

I know it does not work because birthday_month_day is not a column in database.

The question is how to get as result a list of all the users ordered by birthday (month + day), ignoring year. (queryset order_by DateField month day)

Can you help me? Anyone has faced this question before?

Thanks
