在django管理面板中重新排序模型对象

Question

I have several configuration objects in django admin panel. They are listed in the following order

• Email config
• General config
• Network config

Each object can be configured separately, but all of them are included in General config . So basically you will need mostly General config , so I want to move it to the top. I know how to order fields in a model itself, but how to reorder models?

Answer 1

So I've just wrote a django package that will allow you reorder django app list/ rename app label and model names (including 3rd party apps) — you can download it from here:

Answer 2

我没有看到明显的解决方案 - 模型按照_meta.verbose_name_plural进行排序，这发生在AdminSite.index视图中，没有明显的地方可以挂钩自定义代码，缺少子类化AdminSite类并提供自己的索引方法，这是一个巨大的单片方法，非常继承 - 不友好。

Answer 3

If you don't mind using a dirty trick, prepend verbose_name_plural of your models with a certain number of invisible zero-width spaces . Eg prepend "Email config" with 1 zero-width space, "General config" with 2 and "Network config" with 3. This is really the simplest method and I've yet to find any shortcomings.

Answer 4

I found this snippet for reordering models in the django admin panel - it works for us (though check out the comments below the snippet for updates to make it work with Django >= 1.4)

And for the longer term there is this django bug report about the ordering of models within apps . The bug report is open at the time of writing this answer.

Answer 5

If you just want to reorder your apps (tested with Django 1.11.10 ).

class MyAdminSite(AdminSite):
    def index(self, request, extra_context=None):
        if extra_context is None:
            extra_context = {}

        # Move last app to the top of `app_list`.
        app_list = self.get_app_list(request)
        app_list.insert(0, app_list.pop(-1))

        extra_context['app_list'] = app_list
        return super().index(request, extra_context)
