Django admin inline ordering - javascript only implementation

Having spent ages trying out various admin inline ordering packages and examples I found on here and elsewhere I failed to find a single one that did what I was after in the way I wanted or that worked, so I wrote one! The general idea for this version was to be done purely in javascript, no additional methods or parameters required on your models, it's designed to be stuck in a js file and included in your admin class Media js parameter: class Media: js = ['js/admin/widget_ordering.js', ] Your model should have an integer column for sorting on, the name of this column should go in the 'sort_column' parameter at line 3 and your model should also obviously specify this in it's Meta 'ordering' class: class Meta: ordering = ('rank',) That's it! This is a pretty basic implementation that adds simple up and down buttons next to the sort order field, if you want to adapt this to use drag and drop or something, please feel free!
