Ordering admin.ModelAdmin objects

Question

Let's say I have my pizza application with Topping and Pizza classes and they show in Django Admin like this:

PizzaApp - Toppings      >>>>>>>>>>      Add / Change  Pizzas        >>>>>>>>>>      Add / Change 

But I want them like this:

PizzaApp - Pizzas        >>>>>>>>>>      Add / Change  Toppings      >>>>>>>>>>      Add / Change 

How do I configure that in my admin.py?

Answer 1

A workaround that you can try is tweaking your models.py as follows:

class Topping(models.Model):     .     .     .     class Meta:         verbose_name_plural = "2. Toppings"  class Pizza(models.Model):     .     .     .     class Meta:         verbose_name_plural = "1. Pizzas" 

Not sure if it is against the django's best practices but it works (tested with django trunk).

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you want to solve this in 10 seconds just use spaces in verbose_name_plural, for example:

class Topping(models.Model):     class Meta:         verbose_name_plural = "  Toppings" # 2 spaces  class Pizza(models.Model):     class Meta:         verbose_name_plural = " Pizzas" # 1 space 

Of course it isn't ellegant but may work for a while before we get a better solution.
