Documentation

django-sortedmanytomany

In Django, if you need to order a many to many relation you will have to do it by using inlines width a foreign key and a sorting field. If there is no need to add another field in this relation, use inlines would make the admin interface complex where a simple many to many should do the trick.

Installation

pip install django-sortedmanytomany

Adding to installed apps

  • To use the many to many sorted field, you have to add it to your INSTALLED_APPS on your project's settings.py so the needed static files can be loaded:
    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'sortedmanytomany',
    )

Using SortedManyToManyField

  • To use SortedManyToMany field, just create a field as if you were adding the default ManyToMany
    from django.db import models
    from sortedmanytomany.models import SortedManyToManyField

    class Album(models.Model):
        ...
        tracks = SortedManyToManyField('Track')

    class Track(models.Model):
        ...
