Django Admin: Ordering of ForeignKey and ManyToManyField relations referencing User

Question

I have an application that makes use of Django\'s UserProfile to extend the built-in Django User model. Looks a bit like:

class Us         


        

Answer 1

One way would be to define a custom form to use for your Team model in the admin, and override the manager field to use a queryset with the correct ordering:

from django import forms

class TeamForm(forms.ModelForm):
    manager = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=User.objects.order_by('username'))

    class Meta:
        model = Team

class TeamAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('name', 'manager')
    form = TeamForm
