To change the order of a foreign key in the admin and admin only, you
can override the formfield_for_foreignkey method in your ModelAdmin
for AtBat. See the docs at:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.formfield_for_foreignkey
for more details, but it sounds like you'll need something like this
(off the top of my head, no idea if it will execute):
def formfield_for_foreignkey(self, db_field, request, **kwargs):
if db_fieldname=="game":
kwargs['queryset' ] =
Score.objects.all().order_by('something_to_order_by_here') # replace
with your ordering method
return db_field.formfield(**kwargs)
return super(MyModelAdmin, self).formfield_for_foreignkey(db_field,
request, **kwargs)
Hope this helps,
