Support for drag'n'drop

[devsnd]

I made a quick hack to allow drag'n'drop in the admin by extending the OrderedModelAdmin, see this gist:

https://gist.github.com/devsnd/38b9d4ff573a0611a87f10ab3042db45

Just use DragndropOrderedModelAdmin instead of OrderedModelAdmin when creating your admin class and add make_draggable as list_display item, which renders the necessary HTML/JS into the admin.

It requires the browser to support HTML5 Drag'n'Drop. It's quick and dirty, but it also just works ™

To change item order, just drag the row over another row. The dragged row will then be placed above the row it has been dragged on.

For what it's worth, I will be making a pass at this and a couple other alternative widgets for ordering models. (I know this is a really... really old issue).

1. the user re-orders the list in place.
2. The user drags from an unordered group of objects and creates an ordered list.

@derek-adair quite old, but still wanted 👍

The above hack works like a charm! Added some comments on the gist for anyone looking to implement this.
