django-ordered-model

django-ordered-model allows models to be ordered and provides a simple admin interface for reordering them.

Based on http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/998/ and http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/259/

Requires:

• Django 1.4

Installation

$ python setup.py install

Usage

Add ordered_model to your SETTINGS.INSTALLED_APPS.

Inherit your model from OrderedModel to make it ordered:

from django.db import models
from ordered_model.models import OrderedModel

class Item(OrderedModel):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

Model instances now have move_up() and move_down() methods to move them relative to each other.

To add arrows in the admin change list page to do reordering, you can use the OrderedModelAdmin and the move_up_down_links field:

from django.contrib import admin
from ordered_model.admin import OrderedModelAdmin
from models import Item

class ItemAdmin(OrderedModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('name', 'move_up_down_links')

admin.site.register(Item, ItemAdmin)

Test suite

$ ./run_tests.sh
