Python Django ORM Basic ORM Usage Ordering

Can you help me with this task.. im lost

We have a view for showing a product, product_detail, but it currently shows the Reviews in the order they were created. I'd rather show them newest-first, though. Can you use order_by to sort them by created_at in descending order?

products/views.py
import datetime

from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404

from . import models


def good_reviews(request):
    reviews = models.Review.objects.filter(rating__gte=3)
    return render(request, 'products/reviews.html', {'reviews': reviews})


def recent_reviews(request):
    six_months_ago = datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=180)
    reviews = models.Review.objects.exclude(created_at__lt=six_months_ago)
    return render(request, 'products/reviews.html', {'reviews': reviews})


def product_detail(request, pk):
    product = get_object_or_404(models.Product, pk=pk)
    reviews = product.review_set.all()
    return render(request, 'products/product_detail.html', {'product': product, 'reviews': reviews})

It's better if you give it your best shot, and then post your code for community members to review. Try taking a look at the documentation for order_by.

If you're still stuck, go ahead and post what you've got and we can take a look.
