This only impacts the order of the records already entered. But, when adding a new record with the admin interface, one of the fields (a select box auto generated from line 107 below) is not in the order I would prefer.
While typing this email, I just figured out how to order it. I needed to modify the ordering of the model the games column is related to (by adding a class META). While this actually does what I want, the downside is that it will impact this model everywhere. I would still like to know if there's a better way do this. The hard part about googling this or finding it in the Django docs is that ordering is a term that applies to so many different aspects. Thanks.
