Changes in your project

1. Now your table should extend of ‘TableReport’

############### Before ###################

import django_tables2 as tables


class MyTable(tables.Table):

    ...

############### Now ######################

from django_tables2_reports.tables import TableReport


class MyTable(TableReport):

    ...

2.a. If you use a traditional views, now you should use other RequestConfig and change a little your view:

############### Before ###################

from django_tables2 import RequestConfig


def my_view(request):
    objs = ....
    table = MyTable(objs)
    RequestConfig(request).configure(table)
    return render_to_response('app1/my_view.html',
                              {'table': table},
                              context_instance=RequestContext(request))

############### Now ######################

from django_tables2_reports.config import RequestConfigReport as RequestConfig
from django_tables2_reports.utils import create_report_http_response

def my_view(request):
    objs = ....
    table = MyTable(objs)
    table_to_report = RequestConfig(request).configure(table)
    if table_to_report:
        return create_report_http_response(table_to_report, request)
    return render_to_response('app1/my_view.html',
                              {'table': table},
                              context_instance=RequestContext(request))

If you have a lot of tables in your project, you can activate the middleware, and you do not have to change your views, only the RequestConfig import

# In your settings

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (

    'django_tables2_reports.middleware.TableReportMiddleware',
)

############### Now (with middleware) ######################

from django_tables2_reports.config import RequestConfigReport as RequestConfig

def my_view(request):
    objs = ....
    table = MyTable(objs)
    RequestConfig(request).configure(table)
    return render_to_response('app1/my_view.html',
                              {'table': table},
                              context_instance=RequestContext(request))

2.b. If you use a Class-based views:

############### Before ###################

from django_tables2.views import SingleTableView


class PhaseChangeView(SingleTableView):
    table_class = MyTable
    model = MyModel


############### Now ######################

from django_tables2_reports.views import ReportTableView


class PhaseChangeView(ReportTableView):
    table_class = MyTable
    model = MyModel

Usage

Under the table appear a CSV icon (and XLS icon if you have pyExcelerator), if you click in this icon, you get a CSV report (or xls report) with every item of the table (without pagination). The ordering works!
