I have combine 2 queryset from different models into a list and used pagination to display as a single list.
The problem is the objects from the list are displayed by the pagination according to the models they were created from.
How could I fix the list so when a new object is created from the models. It will be displayed after the recently created object even though the recent object created was from a different models.
Example would be . I have a combine queryset of user's whiteboard and user's comment. If a new whiteboard 's object was created recently and I would create another comment . The comment would be displayed by the pagination after the whiteboard 's object instead of been displayed with all the other comments further down the paginated because it was in a different models
I hope you can get the idea of what i'm trying to achieve :)
