Instead of getting relations back in an arbitrary order, you get them in the order you added them, with the sort position stored in the database. This is useful for galleries, playlists, or any scenario where the sequence of related items matters.\n\nThe package provides a SortedManyToManyField class you drop into your models in place of ManyToManyField, and an optional admin widget that lets you reorder relations by dragging and dropping. It handles database migrations automatically and supports Django 4.2 through 5.1 on Python 3.7\u20133.12. There are no runtime dependencies beyond Django itself.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a well-maintained, production-stable package with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. It solves a real Django limitation (unordered many-to-many relations) with a straightforward drop-in replacement. Use it whenever you need to preserve relation order in a Django model."},"id":"django-sortedm2m","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-sortedm2m","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-sortedm2m.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-sortedm2m/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-sortedm2m","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Drop-in replacement for Django's many to many field with sorted relations."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":389270,"position":7032,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.0.0"}
