Ordering changing order_by behavior

Description

Not sure if its a bug, but i am having this problem:

models.py

class Year(models.Model):
   year = models.IntegerField(unique=True) 
   class Meta:
        ordering = ['-year']

views.py

def list_years(request):
   year = Year.objects.all().order_by('-year')
   ...

The problem is that the order_by is returning ascending probably because of the ordering from the meta class. In my opinion the order_by should not be affected by the ordering attribute from the meta class for clarity.

Do you get different ordering for the Year.objects.all().order_by('-year') query if you remove the Meta ordering attribute? If I recall correctly this shouldn't happen.

Sorry, had some problems in my application that did this. Closing...
