Order items with the django-admin interface

Question

Lets say I have a django model looking like this:

class question(models.Model):
  order = models.IntegerField(\'Position\')
  question = models.CharField(max_len         


        

Answer 1

Sure, here is an example of admin.py file with up and down links to change items order: https://github.com/alexvasi/django-simplemenu/blob/master/simplemenu/admin.py

Basically, you just need to override get_urls method to add your custom views (move_up and move_down in this example).

More famous example would be django-treemenus, but there is some extra code to support older versions of django.

Answer 2

Check this: django-orderedmodel.

This is a really simple implementation of abstract base class for items which can be ordered with admin interface. No external dependencies and easy to use.

Answer 3

In case someone else is seeking the solution for that issue in 2017, I found the great package Django Admin Sortable
