Comment:

 I think this should be improved as such that we can set an 'index' field
 on our ModelAdmin objects and our applications. If it is present this is
 used for ordering, if not alphabetical ordering is assumed. This index
 field is trivial for ModelAdmin objects, but for application it should be
 set inside the admin.py file, perhaps like this:

 {{{
 #...
 INDEX = 1
 #...
 }}}

 this way users have full control over ordering inside apps and outside
 apps, eg. the index page would look like:

 app 1
   model 1
   model 3
   model 4

 app 2
   model 1
   model 2
   model 4
   model 5

 where the number is value of the index property
