Django will just use the default ordering for the related model. You
can change it for all uses of that model by using the 'ordering'
option in the model's inner Meta class.
If you need to change the order just for a foreign key list, while
leaving the model's default order alone, you can do it by defining a
custom form for the admin change view, override the definition of the
foreign key field on that form, passing it a queryset ordered the way
you want.
For example:
class MyCustomForm(forms.ModelForm):
my_foreign_key = forms.ModelChoiceField
(queryset=MyRelatedModel.objects.order_by('my_order'))
class MyCustomAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = MyCustomForm
admin.site.register(MyModel, MyCustomAdmin)
