I managed to work out that you were implementing some sort of sortable table. :-) Unfortunately, that doesn't fill in enough details to help me answer the questions you were asking. Some questions I have: - How were you intending this to be used in the admin? For a specific type of field? Or everywhere there is a table, or...? This isn't just an "ask the obvious" question: I have one case where I've had to make an orderable model (a list of images showing changes over time) and I didn't use the admin interface for that. Your addition would be useful in that sort of case, but is that all you're thinking of? - It sounds like you want another database column to store the ordering, but that is surely a property of the model (the model instances need to be orderable), so it should be a specific field in the model that the user has defined, shouldn't it? Why is the column name an admin property, rather than part of a normal model field? - If I accidently drop a row in the wrong place, or decide that the shuffling was just plain wrong, is there some way to "go back" to an earlier state? With normal form submission delineated changes, there are specific checkpoints that make up a change and we can usually go back to at least the last change. With "immediate apply", what are the possibilities for undoing mistakes? Without seeing the implementation, I would also think about: - Does wrapping every tr in a tbody element make things really bad for screen readers or other linearisation needs? - Links suddenly stopping working, as you mentioned in your post, could be a bit of an annoyance (again, I'm not sure of the intended use case, so hard to tell for sure). It will probably be easier to give concrete feedback after you post a code patch. Certainly sounds interesting (the image reordering case is one where this might be useful).
