   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'admin_top_models',
       ...
   )
   

2. Add admin_top_models.middleware.AdminTopModelsMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES:

   ADMIN_TOP_MODELS_SPACER_NAME = '-' * 20
   
   # if this is set to True, order of apps and models will be the same across different languages,
   # otherwise django's order by translated names will be used.
   ADMIN_TOP_MODELS_ALWAYS_SORT_BY_OBJECT_NAME = False
