Altering object order in formsets with can_order

[Paulo Almeida]

Hi,

I'm having a hard time grasping the concept of the can_order argument, when
creating formsets. Once objects are created and saved through the formset,
is it possible to reorder them? Where does the order information get stored?
I tried just adding can_order=True when creating the formset (it's an
inline_formset) and the order fields do show up on the form, but they don't
seem to have any effect. I'm just saving the formset. Should I use "formset.
ordered_forms" to sort them and then save each one individually?

I really need to be able to reorder after saving, because some of these
objects are being created outside forms and I want the users to reorder them
if they want to. If that is not possible with can_order, I think an easy way
to do it would be to have an extra variable in that model, storing the order
(in the form it would work just like the fields created by can_order). Does
that sound reasonable?

Thanks for any help,
Paulo Almeida
