Comment:
Setting the ordering option is not possible in this case since the User
model is not under our control. In r7806 the default ordering of the User
model was removed causing all select boxes in the admin interface for the
User model to be sorted in database order instead of username order.
In my application there are thousands of users. It is impossible to find a
user if the select box is not sorted by username.
In http://groups.google.com/group/django-
users/browse_thread/thread/8526e0c37293d196 a solution to this problem is
given, but this is really just a hack. In my application I have a dozen
models with a ForeignKey on the User model and had to add that solution to
each model. This is not the DRY principle as we're used with in Django.
