I think the easiest way to do this would be to override the admin template, adding some JS which populates the sort order field on page load and after a new child row is added. Your template would need to extend the extrahead block in django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/change_form.html Another option could be to extend InlineModelAdmin so you can pass initial data to the inlineformset_factory, but without testing I'm not sure if this is possible.
