If you use ListView there is get_queryset() method to do this:

class OrderListView(ListView):
    template_name = 'doors/orders/list.html'

    def get_queryset(self):
        user = self.request.user
        if user.user_type == 1:
            return Order.objects.all()
        return Order.objects.filter(creator=user.pk)
