I want to be able to define a property in a Model that can also be displayed AND sort using admin_order_field in the 'list_display' Admin property. Below is the code for a property that I wanted to define (and be sortable in the django admin interface)

  @property
  def restaurant_name(self):
    return str(self.restaurant)
  restaurant_name.admin_order_field = 'restaurant__name'

However, I get the following error message:

AttributeError: 'property' object has no attribute 'admin_order_field'

When I get rid of the @property decorator, it works fine, but then I have to call restaurant_name() on model instances, instead of restaurant_name, which provides inconsistent style in how I access different properties of the model (which are actually defined as Python properties). How do I specify a Python property as sortable in the admin?

django django-admin
