Description
RelatedFieldListFilter doesn't fall back to the ordering defined in Model._meta.ordering.
Ordering gets set to an empty tuple in https://github.com/django/django/blob/2.2.1/django/contrib/admin/filters.py#L196 and unless ordering is defined on the related model's ModelAdmin class it stays an empty tuple. IMHO it should fall back to the ordering defined in the related model's Meta.ordering field.
RelatedOnlyFieldListFilter doesn't order the related model at all, even if ordering is defined on the related model's ModelAdmin class.
That's because the call to field.get_choices https://github.com/django/django/blob/2.2.1/django/contrib/admin/filters.py#L422 omits the ordering kwarg entirely.

OK, yes, seems a reasonable suggestion if you'd like to work on it.

Hello. We've updated our django recently and faced this bug. For me it seems like a quite big regression.
As I see in PR, patch was updated and appropriate tests were added too so I suggest to consider including it in 2.2.4 and backporting to (at least) 2.1.

As far as I'm concerned it's not a regression and doesn't qualify for a backport. It's on my list and should be fixed in Django 3.0.

I'd argue it is a regression. It worked before and is clearly broken now.
Any workarounds for the moment?
Sample project illustrating the problem. Navigate to /admin/foo/book and observer the order of Author in the list filters.
