How to access a django models ordering from model instance (or class)

Question

How do I programmatically get the ordering defined in model.Meta for a Django model class or an instance?

i.e. I want to get the ('foo', 'bar') from:

class FooBar(models.Model):
    foo = models.IntegerField()
    bar = models.IntegerField()
    snake = models.CharField(max_length=128)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ('foo', 'bar')

Neither models.FooBar nor models.FooBar.Meta have an attribute ordering

Answer 1

Are you looking 'private' attribute _meta?

FooBar._meta.ordering

(Also works on instances)
