About Counting Related Objects

You can count the related objects of a category using annotations like this:

from django.db.models import Count
from categories.models import Category

for category in Category.objects.annotate(
    place_count=Count("place"),
).order_by("-place_count"):
    print(f"{category.title}: {category.place_count}")
