Comment:
The order is undesirable *for you*. The other order is just as desirable
under different circumstances. For example, if you have some unusual table
requirements, you may need to do some db-specific ALTER TABLE statements
before you do some generic data loading. That's a fairly simple example
that demonstrates that the current order is "correct".
In addition, loading of data via SQL is something that we're trying to
discourage; the preferred approach is to use fixtures.
Given that Django (a) has a preferred solution that avoids the problem you
describe, and (b) can't fix the problem you describe in a generic way
without allowing for multiple custom SQL entry points (i.e., a pre-generic
and post-generic SQL hook, which itself would need pre-specific and post-
specific hooks, and so on...), I'm going to close this wontfix. If you
feel there is a broader issue that needs to be addressed, feel free to
start a discussion on Django-dev.
