Django Rest Framework Database Query Builder Does Not Stable Sort
A stupid bug on 2024-08-09 something that I expected so naturally that took me hours to find out.
I was expecting:
- First = Second
- Third = Fourth

Think you're good at Django? Guess the answer!

Which is not.
- First = Second
- Third ≠ Fourth
This really made me pull my hair off.
This is because Order By is not sorting itself, but rather a query builder.
While I understand the reason behind it, I still think it's counterintuitive.
