                console.log(sort)

have you tried this? (replacing self with request and using request instead of self.request

@csrf_exempt
def sort(request):
    books = json.loads(request.POST.get('sort'))
    for b in books:
        book = get_object_or_404(Article, pk=int(b['pk']))
        book.position = b['order']
        book.save()
    return HttpResponse('saved')
