Get last record in a queryset

Question

How can I retrieve the last record in a certain queryset?

Answer 1

You could simply do something like this, using reverse():

queryset.reverse()[0]

Also, beware this warning from the Django documentation:

... note that reverse() should generally only be called on a QuerySet which has a defined ordering (e.g., when querying against a model which defines a default ordering, or when using order_by()). If no such ordering is defined for a given QuerySet, calling reverse() on it has no real effect (the ordering was undefined prior to calling reverse(), and will remain undefined afterward).

Answer 2

Maybe you can use something like this:

queryset[queryset.count()-1]

Answer 3

Django Doc

Entry.objects.latest('pub_date')
