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

Using fields in inner Meta class is what worked for me on Django==1.6.5:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
Example form declaration with custom field order.
"""

from django import forms

from app.models import AppModel


class ExampleModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    """
    An example model form for ``AppModel``.
    """
    field1 = forms.CharField()
    field2 = forms.CharField()

    class Meta:
        model = AppModel
        fields = ['field2', 'field1']

As simple as that.
