You haven't given any key or cmp values in the sorted() call to tell
it what to sort on. Certainly this works for me:
sorted([item for item in qs], key=lambda x: x.name)
Although I would have to wonder why you're doing it this way, rather
than using the database to sort them? I understand that you're getting
all group items that are related to a brg, but a better way of doing
it would be something like:
Group.objects.filter(brg__isnull=False).order_by('name')
or whatever.
