The models in the Site Administration screen are listed alphabetically. If you need to order them differently, say, in the order of creation of objects or some other 'workflow' criterion, you can use the instructions in this snippet.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 | '''Copy django/contrib/admin/templatetags/adminapplist.py
to the myapp/templatetags/ directory. say my_adminapplist.py
'''
#my_adminapplist.py
# under the block
if True in perms.values():
import random
admin_order = random.randint(100,999)
if hasattr(m, '_order'):
admin_order = m._order
model_list.append({
'name': force_unicode(capfirst(m._meta.verbose_name_plural)),
'admin_url': u'%s/%s/' % (force_unicode(app_label), m.__name__.lower()),
'perms': perms,
'admin_order':admin_order,
})
# and then under model_list block:
if model_list:
decorated = [(x['admin_order'], x) for x in model_list]
# this will sort the code based on admin_order key instead of alphabetical order
''' Most importantly, add a line `_order` in your model file for each Model'''
_order = 1 # this is the order in which the models will be ordered.
