Custom|Custom models display ordering for Django admin dashboard CustommodelsdisplayorderingforDjango

Django Admin By default, it displays all the apps in INSTALLED_APPS that have been registered with the admin application, in alphabetical order.

https://docs.djangoproject.co...

def get_app_list(self, request): """ Return a sorted list of all the installed apps that have been registered in this site. """ app_dict = self._build_app_dict(request)# Sort the apps alphabetically. app_list = sorted(app_dict.values(), key=lambda x: x['name'].lower())# Sort the models alphabetically within each app. for app in app_list: app['models'].sort(key=lambda x: x['name'])return app_list

There are multiple ways to achieve this on the internet

Adding a numeric prefix for each verbose_name_plural in App Model Meta
Override admin/base.html tempalte
Override AdminSite class and get_app_list() method

For this article, I will be using a way that to override the get_app_list class method only without overriding the class.
How to do it? 【Custom|Custom models display ordering for Django admin dashboard】Define the class method normally.

def get_app_list(self, request): """ Return a sorted list of all the installed apps that have been registered in this site. """ # Retrieve the original list app_dict = self._build_app_dict(request) app_list = sorted(app_dict.values(), key=lambda x: x['name'].lower())# Sort the models customably within each app. for app in app_list: if app['app_label'] == 'auth': ordering = { 'Users': 1, 'Groups': 2 } app['models'].sort(key=lambda x: ordering[x['name']])return app_list
