Ordering not used on ForeignKeyField form field RadioSelect widget

[zyegfryed@…]

Hi,

I've spotted some inconsistency using the ordering option on Admin. By default, django.contrib.admin doesn't use the Admin ordering option when displaying a ForeignKeyField form field. However, when ordering is specified on model's Meta ordering option, the ordering appears.

Is that a bug or a feature ? Meaning : should the form field ordering follow the model's Meta definition, or should the admin's ordering option supersede the model's one ? (I thought about the later, thus this ticket.)

Example:

User(models.Model):
  class Meta:
    ordering = ('username', ) -> sort RadioSelect widget by username

UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  ordering = ('username', ) -> sort only list view by username

Edit

User(models.Model):
  class Meta:
    ordering = ('username', ) -> sort RadioSelect widget by username. Comment this and ordering is no longer used even when specified in the following UserAdmin Admin definition.

UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  ordering = ('username', ) -> sort only list view by username

Thanks for reviewing.
