Hi! So I have a pretty huge database of clients and each client has a number of objects. When people want to search for these objects on my website, I'd like to show the results intercalated by client. As of now, I'm getting like 5 rows of client A and then another 3 of client B and so forth. I'd like to get something like: First object of client A, First object of client B, First object of client C, Second object of client A, Second object of client B... and so on. Since my results are paginated and there are a freking whole lot of them, I can't do it programmatically at runtime, not only for speed's sake, but because I could easily run out of memory. The way I've been doing it is to create a field "order" on my object table and every night I run a script that orders the objects the way I want. Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks a lot.
