Django Many To Many Insert Ordering

Question

We have been struggling with this for a few days and have done lots of searches on the web.

We are trying to figure out how entries are saved in Django forms for man

Answer 1

Thankfully, order can now be preserved in a ManyToMany relationship without the extra complexity of using a through model using sortedm2m which is a drop-in replacement for django's own ManyToManyField.

Answer 2

Django doesn't guarantee to preserve the order of many-to-many relationships. If you need this, you should use a through table with an explicit 'order' field.
