Ordering a Many-To-Many field in Django Admin
Solution above works well, but in my case I lost all attributes and customizations that my component had by default (like required, label, etc).
In some cases could be better override __init__()
method in order to customize only your queryset, nothing else will change.
class ProductAdminForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Product
fields = '__all__' # required in new versions
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['email_users'].queryset = (
self.fields['email_users'].queryset.order_by('username')
)
The answer was referred to in Hao Lian's comment above, essentially, this is what needed to be done:
class ProductAdminForm(ModelForm):
email_users = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=User.objects.order_by('username'))
class Meta:
model = Product
class ProductAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('name','platform')
form = ProductAdminForm
admin.site.register(Product, ProductAdmin)
Mine was slightly different in the sense that I required the forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField, whereas the answer provided used forms.ModelChoiceField()
