Hi all, There anyway to keep the ordering of properties defined on a mapper?
The reason I ask is that I'm building a tabbed interface consiting of a parent form and multiple related child forms and I'd like the tabs to be in the same order that I've defined the properies on the parent mapper: In [1]: from mymod import MyModel In [2]: from sqlalchemy.orm import class_mapper In [3]: map = class_mapper(MyModel) In [4]: from sqlalchemy.orm.properties import RelationProperty In [5]: props = [p for p in map.iterate_properties if isinstance(p, RelationProperty)] In [7]: [(p.key, p.collection_class) for p in props] Out[7]: [('prop_one', None), ('prop_three', None), ('prop_two', None)] where my properties look like: properties=SortedDict({ 'prop_one' : relation(RelatedOne, cascade="all,delete"), 'prop_two' : relation(RelatedTwo, cascade="all,delete"), 'prop_three' : relation(RelatedThree, cascade="all,delete")}) Note above that I've tried it with django's SortedDict, I also did it with a vanilla dict and the odering was still the same. Actually I've just read through the source and seen that mapper._props is an instance of util.OrderedDict, so I guess this is more of a question of how to control the order that properties are inserted into here.
