Hello everyone, I'm brand new to django and would really appreciate any 
help getting started.

So far I have gone through the first app tutorial and am working on my 
first app.

I have setup the basic structure of the app and also figured out user 
authentication. The code is on github: 
https://github.com/IAmCorbin/SentenceBuilder

I want to be able to add "words" with zero or more "tags" and then build 
"sentences". For building the sentences I need to store each words position 
in that particular sentence. I have setup the database structure, but am 
unsure how to setup the admin interface for doing this
Right now the admin page for a sentence is: the sentence name (text input), 
words (which right now is a multiple select box) and the associated user 
for the sentence (dropdown box). I have a separate table in the DB to store 
the word positions for each user and sentence, but I'm not sure how to link 
it all together.
The admin interface for adding words and tags is fine but I need to build a 
different admin page for sentence. On the sentence admin page the name and 
associated user inputs will work just fine, but having the words as a 
multiple select box isn't what I need.

Here is the database structure I have right now:

> class Word(models.Model):
>   name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
>   user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='+')
>   def __unicode__(self):
>     return self.name
>     
> class Tag(models.Model):
>   name = models.CharField(max_length=70)
>   words = models.ManyToManyField(Word, blank=True)
>   user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='+')
>   def __unicode__(self):
>     return self.name
>     
> class Sentence(models.Model):
>   name = models.CharField(max_length=70)
>   words = models.ManyToManyField(Word)
>   user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='+')
>   def __unicode__(self):
>     return self.name
>     
> class SentencePosition(models.Model):
>   word = models.ForeignKey(Word)
>   sentence = models.ForeignKey(Sentence)
>   position = models.IntegerField()


I would like the sentence admin page to allow adding a word at a time and 
it needs to update the SentencePosition table whenever a word is 
added/updated(moved)/removed
The interface ideally would allow you to either: add a new word from the 
Word table,  rearrange the order of existing words, or delete a word (any 
of these operations would need to update the SentencePosition table for all 
affected words)

How could I go about doing this?
