Django when is order_by applied in the view?

I am using Django ModelViewSet. If I pass ?ordering=some-field in the url, when is it applied on my queryset at the django level? I would need to catch some specific behavior there.

In the filter_queryset method, each filter backend in the list of filter_backends is called and the queryset is passed to it. I assume you're using the DRF OrderingFilter which is a filter backend. So that is where it is called and the queryset is ordered.

You can check the OrderingFilter class to see how you can modify/override the behaviour
