Question

I have this models in Django

class Country(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=80)

class Person(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, db_index=True)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, db_index=True)
    country = models.ForeignKey(Country)

and this ModelForm

class PersonForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = Person

when I use this form in a template, everything works fine, but the country list in the <select> appears disordered. How can I order it?

Answer 1

You can use the ordering property:

class Country(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=80)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ["name"]

If you set the ordering to the Country class, it shall display them as you want.
