[Django]-A left outer reverse select_related in Django?

In this case, I think the best thing to do is list the children, then get the parent from them, like this:

children = Child.objects.filter(...).select_related('parent').order_by('parent')

Then in the template, possibly use a regroup (note the order_by above):

{% regroup children by parent as parents %}
<ul>
{% for parent in parents %}
    <li>{{ parent.grouper }}
    <ul>
    {% for child in parents.list %}
    ...
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>
    </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
