Description

The docs for the admin site don't mention ordering directions.

class AscendingStoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
	ordering = ('publishing_day',)

class DescendingStoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
	ordering = ('-publishing_day',)

They should. It's important and not obvious to everyone.

​I beg to differ.

I think the complaint here might be that the doc in admin does not mention the ability to control ascending/descending. It just says in the same format as the model's ordering parameter. It might be nice if that ordering were a link to the doc for the model's ordering doc, but I don't see ​here any markup that allows us to cross-link to model meta option doc?
