How does Django Know the Order to Render Form Fields?

Question

If I have a Django form such as:

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
    subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
    message = forms.CharField()
    sender = fo         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way to order fields in django 1.9 forms is to use field_order in your form Form.field_order

Here is a small example

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
     subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
     message = forms.CharField()
     sender = forms.EmailField()
     field_order = ['sender','message','subject']

This will show everything in the order you specified in field_order dict.
