Better ordering for Django CharFields.

django-naturalsortfield

Better ordering for CharFields. Ignores spaces at the start of a string, does the right thing with integers, scorns the word "the".

Example:

from django.db import models
from naturalsortfield import NaturalSortField


class MyModel(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    title_sort = NaturalSortField('title')

>>> MyModel.objects.create(title='ABC')
>>> MyModel.objects.create(title='XYZ 1')
>>> MyModel.objects.create(title='The XYZ 2')
>>> MyModel.objects.create(title='XYZ 10')
>>> [obj.title for obj.title in MyModel.objects.order_by('title_sort')
['ABC', 'XYZ 1', 'The XYZ 2', 'XYZ 10']
