Quickstart

To get started using django-admin-sortable simply install it using pip:

$ pip install django-admin-sortable

Add adminsortable to your project’s INSTALLED_APPS setting.

Ensure django.core.context_processors.static is in your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting.

Define your model, inheriting from adminsortable.Sortable:

# models.py
from adminsortable.models import Sortable

class MySortableClass(Sortable):
    class Meta(Sortable.Meta):
        pass

    title = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

Wire up your sortable model to Django admin:

# admin.py
from adminsortable.admin import SortableAdmin
from .models import MySortableClass

class MySortableAdminClass(SortableAdmin):
    """Any admin options you need go here"""

admin.site.register(MySortableClass, MySortableAdminClass)

Your model’s ChangeList view should now have an extra tool link when there are 2 or more objects present that will take you to a view where you can drag-and-drop the objects into your desired order.
