move all completed orders to bottom of page - django

Question

I'm building a ecommerce site with django.
I'm creating the page where the orders are processed.
I want to make it so that when an item is "delivered" that order will go to the bottom of the list.
views.py
def orders(request, hour):
#changes status of order from submitted to shipped
if request.method == 'POST':
SUBMITTED = 1
PROCESSED = 2
SHIPPED = 3
CANCELLED = 4
order_id = request.POST['order_id']
this_order = Order.objects.get(pk=order_id)
if this_order.status == SUBMITTED or this_order.status == PROCESSED:
this_order.status = SHIPPED
elif this_order.status == SHIPPED:
this_order.status = SUBMITTED
this_order.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/orders/' + hour)
#Get all orders from the past 24 hours
tz=pytz.timezone('America/Los_Angeles')
now_nonaware = datetime.datetime.now()
now = timezone.make_aware(now_nonaware,tz)
orders = Order.objects.filter(date__range=[now - datetime.timedelta(hours=20), now]).filter(time=hour)
#get all orders from every college drop
revelle_orders = orders.filter(location = "revelle")
muir_orders = orders.filter(location = "muir")
marshall_orders = orders.filter(location = "marshall")
erc_orders = orders.filter(location = "erc")
warren_orders = orders.filter(location = "warren")
sixth_orders = orders.filter(location = "sixth")
orderlocations = {"revelle": revelle_orders, "muir" : muir_orders, "marshall" : marshall_orders,
"erc": erc_orders, "warren": warren_orders, "sixth": sixth_orders}
orders_dict = {"orderlocations" : orderlocations, "hour": hour}
return render_to_response('orders.html', orders_dict, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
HTML:
Order page for {{hour}}
</br>
</br>
{% for location, orders in orderlocations.items %}
{% if orders %}
{{ location|capfirst }}
<table>
<tr>
<td>#</td>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Email</td>
<td>Order</td>
<td>Delivered</td>
<td>Phone</td>
</tr>
{% for ord in orders %}
{% for food in ord.orderitem_set.all %}
<tr>
{% if forloop.counter == 1 %}
<td>{{forloop.parentloop.counter}}</td>
<td>{{ord.full_name}}</td>
<td>{{ord.email}}</td>
{% else %}
<td colspan="3"></td>
{% endif %}
<td>{{food.name}} (x{{food.quantity}})</td>
{% if forloop.counter == 1 %}
<td>
<form action="" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="hidden" name="order_id" value="{{ ord.pk }}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="action=" value="toggledelivery"/>
<button type="submit">{% ifnotequal 3 ord.status %} Not {% endifnotequal %}Delivered</button>
</form>
</td>
<td>{{ord.phone}}</td>
{% endif %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
</table>
</br>
</br>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Answer 1

This sounds like a job for model ordering meta options on a class.
For example in your model class add a sub-class called Meta:
class MyModel(models.Model):
# model fields here...
class Meta:
ordering = ['status']
You can add a - in front of status to sort in descending order. You can also chain together multiple fields for ordering:
class Meta:
ordering = ['status', '-order_date']

Answer 2

hmm since there's this part
<button type="submit">{% ifnotequal 3 ord.status %} Not {% endifnotequal %}Delivered</button>
maybe something like this in your orders view?
orders = Order.objects.filter(date__range=[now - datetime.timedelta(hours=20), now]).filter(time=hour).extra({"is_completed_order": "status == 3"}).order_by('is_completed_order')
e.g. compute an extra is_completed_order boolean field and order on that
