I understand the it will be ascending or descending, but those values are not explicitly defined in the "models.py" file. I expect that the answer is related to my question about "orderby" that Alex gave part of an answer.

I am doing exact that for the "recipes" detail page. I am getting my values and human readable values from the SSTATE_RESULT choices table within the "Recipe" class.

I myself am hoping and expecting that the user can be able to directly bring up the file in question, so that it is one stop shopping to see the log, and especially the errors, in order for the developer to directly address the issues for the rebuild. I do not know if we can a class for this operation yet, where a file is read into an object that can then be iterated by Django in the template.

I can though see the case where downloading the file for later review could be of value, but as a developer I find that a quick look at the errors allows me to directly see and resolve the problems almost every time.
