Django Admin: How do I set the ordering of inline elements?

Question

With a normal ModelAdmin class I can set the ordering with:

ordering = ("field_name",) 

There seems to be no option to set ordering for InlineModelAdmin. Is there a way to get the inline elements to sort by a particular field?

Answer 1

This works now so you can just do something like:

class MyModelInline(admin.TabularInline):    model = MyModel    ordering = ("field_name",) 

Answer 2

There's actually a ticket for this, with a patch here: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13862

Don't know if it actually works, though.

Update: The ticket is marked as fixed.
