I've look at this How to query as GROUP BY in django? but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have a queryset which brings in 4 related tables. I would like to return values from the 'top table' and group them together.
Columns to group on are: area_easting(E), area_northing(N), context_number(C), sample_number(S)
example current data output
E |N  |C  |S     |material
99|526|101|1 ... |seed
99|526|101|1 ... |grain
99|526|101|1 ... |pip
99|526|101|2 ... |seed
99|526|101|2 ... |grain
99|526|101|2 ... |pip
I only want to return the E|N|C|S once but still be able to list each material associated with it. Is this possible without having to create another def?

  botany = FractionMaterialsPresent.objects.select_related()
  template = 'botany/test.html'
  return render(request, template, {'botany': botany})
