Req-Enable sorting on Task name

[gainskills]

Summary:

A feature request: enable sorting on "periodic task" column

Include a brief descrioption of the problem here, and fill out the version info below.

• Celery Version: 4.4.2
• Celery-Beat Version: 2.0.0

Exact steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Navigate Periodic tasks page on Django admin site
2. It doesn't support sorting on column 'Periodic Task'

Detailed information

admin.py -> class PeriodicTaskAdmin -> list_display reference '__str__'

    list_display = ('__str__', 'enabled', 'interval', 'start_time',
                    'last_run_at', 'one_off')

Can it enable sorting on the column? I did a try in this way:

1. define another def for the filed:

    def task_str(self, obj):
        return obj.__str__()

    task_str.short_description = 'Periodic Task'
    task_str.admin_order_field = 'name'

2. replace 'str' with the new field:

    list_display = ('task_str', 'enabled', 'interval', 'start_time',
                    'last_run_at', 'one_off')
