django-admin-sortkey
Control the sort order of apps and models in the Django admin interface.
This is an independent, unofficial third-party package. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Django Software Foundation.
Install
pip install django-admin-sortkey
Add to INSTALLED_APPS before django.contrib.admin:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
"django_admin_sortkey",
"django.contrib.admin",
...
]
Usage
Sort apps in the admin index
# myapp/apps.py
from django.apps import AppConfig
class MyAppConfig(AppConfig):
name = "myapp"
app_sort = 10 # lower appears first; omit to sort alphabetically after explicit ones
Sort models within an app
# myapp/admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Invoice
@admin.register(Invoice)
class InvoiceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
model_sort = 1 # lower appears first within the app section
Apps and models without an explicit sort value fall back to alphabetical ordering and appear after all explicitly sorted ones.
How it works
Patches AdminSite.get_app_list() once at app startup (AppConfig.ready()).
No Django source modifications. Zero rebase maintenance.
Running tests
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest
