Problem Description

I've built a Django web application to show information about transactions in a database. The tables have multiple columns with different information (amount, date, price, etc.). In my first version of the web app, I displayed every transaction in the database and then used JS to sort the table rows. If you clicked a column you could resort by that column, and click again to reverse the sort order.

I intend to increase the # of transactions in the database meaningfully so I decided to change my approach. I now want to use Django Pagination to show a specific number of rows on each table. I want to sort the table in the Views.py function, rather than sorting it with Javascript.

Using Ghostwriter/ChatGPT, I was able to get to an 80% solution, but it has some bugs. I want somebody to take a look at my implementation, and help coach me thru the 100% solution. I want this implemented in my web app, but equally as importantly, I want to understand how it is done.

Acceptance Criteria

I want someone to spend 1-2 hours total working with my to implement pagination and sorting (ascending and descending) by column header in my Django web application.

Ideally I would like someone who would be willing to jump in a Discord call or Zoom call to work on this live.
