How can I order fields in Django ModelForm?

Question

I have an 'order' Model:

class Order(models.Model):      date_time=models.DateTimeField()      # other stuff 

And I'm using Django ModelForm class to render a form, but I want to display date and time widgets separately. I've came up with this:

class Form(forms.ModelForm):      class Meta:         model = Order         exclude = ('date_time',)         date = forms.DateField()         time = forms.TimeField() 

The problem is that I want to put these fields somewhere between 'other stuff'

Answer 1

You can use:

class Meta:     fields = [ ..., 'date', 'time', ... ] 

See the docs: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#changing-the-order-of-fields

Adding to Lukasz answer, in Django 2.0 the complete admin form registration with field ordering would look like the following:

models.py

class Order(models.Model):     date_time = models.DateTimeField()     # other fields 

admin.py

class OrderForm(forms.ModelForm):     datef = forms.DateField()     timef = forms.TimeField()      class Meta:       model = Order       exclude = ['date_time']       fields = (           'datef',           'timef',           # other fields       )  class OrderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):     form = OrderForm  admin.site.register(Order, OrderAdmin) 

Note that date and time fields are defined in ModelForm class and not in Meta class.
