Hello!
There is one situation where the order of INSTALLED_APPS really matters - which is template override. One typical case is grappelli - see https://django-grappelli.readthedocs.org/en/2.4.5/quickstart.html#setup Though not officially documented (?) I've found references in the mailing list to the fact that APPS coming first in the INSTALLED_APPS will have priority - their templates will be loaded effectivily overriding/shadowing lower priority app ones. Now, if this is "officially" confirmed in my opinion it would require: 1. use a list, not a set, as a default for INSTALLED_APPS. In Python sets are unordered<http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/datastructures.html#sets> as you surely now better than me 2. be more explicit in the documentation If it's not, well... maybe another mechanism should be implemented. For very specific cases I've been using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-apptemplates/ which syntax looks very clean and clear to me. I'm not sure if there are other drawbacks or if this would be worth including natively into django rather then leaving it as an (abandoned) external app... Thanks!
