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

It has to do with the meta class that is used in defining the form class. I think it keeps an internal list of the fields and if you insert into the middle of the list it might work. It has been a while since I looked at that code.
