Using

Use inplace of OrderingFilter in views. Needs to tell the functions in a dictionary of field name and database functions.

views.py

from django.db.models.functions import Lower

from drf_orderwcast import OrderingWCastFilter


class FooListView(generics.ListAPIView):
    queryset = Foo.objects.all()
    serializer_class = FooSerializer
    filter_backends = (OrderingWCastFilter,)
    ordering_fields = ['name', 'email']
