Natural order sorting

Syntax could be

Foo.objects.order_by('-natural')

Edit: maybe better

Foo.objects.reverse()

Btw we don't support reverse() (not sure about djangoappengine)

What if there's a field called natural ?

[jonashaag]

good point Flavio, my other proposal doesn't have that problem

I've just realized one thing about my solution -- $natural is always added when no field ordering is given (using order_by or ordering). As far as I understand, if the ordering is not reversed (through QuerySet.reverse or Manager.reverse), it will have no effect, even if some constraints are used; is this right? Would it be any better to skip {$natural: ASCENDING} completely?

[jonashaag]

yeah.
