django sort by manytomany relationship

Question

I have the following model:

class Service(models.Model):
    ratings = models.ManyToManyField(User)

Now if I wanna get all the service with ratings sorted in descending order I did something:

services_list = Service.objects.filter(ratings__gt=0).distinct()
services_list = list(services_list)
services_list.sort(key=lambda service: service.ratings.all().count(), reverse=True)

As you can see its a three step process and I don't feel right about this. Anybody who knows a better way to do this?

Answer 1

How about:

    service_list = Service.objects.annotate(ratings_num=Count('ratings')).filter(ratings_num__gt=0).order_by('-ratings_num')
