Issue type

[ ] Feature request
[x] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.2
  • NetBox version: 2.3.4

Description

Natural ordering is broken in object tables. For example:

  1. Create three new sites named Foo1, Foo2, and Foo10.
  2. Navigate to the sites list. The three sites will be listed in order.
  3. Click the "Name" header to order sites by name.
  4. The sites are now ordered Foo1, Foo10, Foo2.

This occurs because the default natural ordering is being overridden by the specification of an explicit table field (e.g. name).

It is also the same at the interface ordering at devices.

The interface sorting logic is similar but more niche and uses its own queryset manager.
