Reorder model objects in django admin panel

django, django-admin, django-models, python

Solution

I don't see an obvious solution to this — the models are sorted by their _meta.verbose_name_plural, and this happens inside the AdminSite.index view, with no obvious place to hook custom code, short of subclassing the AdminSite class and providing your own index method, which is however a huge monolithic method, very inheritance-unfriendly.

Problem

I have several configuration objects in `django` admin panel. They are listed in the following order - Email config - General config - Network config Each object can be configured separately, but all of them are included in `General config`. So basically you will need mostly `General config`, so I want to move it to the top. I know how to order fields in a model itself, but how to reorder models?
