""" 6. Specifying ordering Specify default ordering for a model using the ``ordering`` attribute, which should be a list or tuple of field names. This tells Django how to order ``QuerySet`` results. If a field name in ``ordering`` starts with a hyphen, that field will be ordered in descending order. Otherwise, it'll be ordered in ascending order. The special-case field name ``"?"`` specifies random order. The ordering attribute is not required. If you leave it off, ordering will be undefined -- not random, just undefined.
