Re: Many to Many Ordered List
I am having a similar problem here. having read the m2m_intermediary/ wiki page, I still cant wrap my head around the idea of displaying a multiple select dropdown list of related objects on the admin side. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Many to Many Ordered List
I would handle this kind of situation by adding an intermediate class AttributeOfTheLink. I don't know if this is a good practice but I think it will do the tricks. Let me know if you find something better. Yann --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

That's a good idea, except the bands will be in a different order depending on the show they're in. Somedays Stevie Wonder is the headliner, other days he's just opening for Prince. Thanks for the idea. I think this might be a complicated thing to handle, without an easy answer.

Many to Many Ordered List
Hi There, I just released my first pubic facing Django site, and have run into a design problem. It's a music blog / band site at http://www.victimoftime.com Something I didn't consider when I was building it (I'm the tech guy, others are the content people) is that at a given concert, the bands play in a specific order, and that order is important. I chose to use Many to Many relationships for concerts and bands, so that I can easily give a view of a particular concert, with the bands involved, click on a band, and get a listing of upcoming shows, etc. The problem is, how can I preserve the many to many relationship, but have a specific order for the bands? Any ideas? If nothing else, I'm probably going to include a field for band order that's just a string. Then use some regexes to figure out which band is which from the list. Thanks in advance.
