InlineModelAdmin docs do not mention view_on_site as a shared feature with ModelAdmin

[James Aylett]

The capability was added to resolve #8261, but while it was documented for ModelAdmin it wasn't added to the list of shared features for InlineModelAdmin.

(This should be easy enough to resolve, although I haven't checked whether there are other shared features that aren't currently listed, which would be ideal to do when resolving. I'll try to find time to check and get a PR together.)

There are also:

• empty_value_display, autocomplete_fields, sortable_by all of which are documented in ModelAdmin (the first I've used today so it's definitely worth noting)
• show_full_result_count is listed in BaseModelAdmin, but I'm unconvinced it's used for inlines
• various get_* methods (which are also documented but effectively duplicate attributes and so are probably best left off)

And the sort order for the shared features doesn't make sense; it's neither consistent with that in the ModelAdmin docs above, nor alphabetical.

I have a draft patch, but would appreciate thoughts on what the sort order for that list (around docs/contrib/admin/index.rst:2278) should be.

Thank you for the great effort on this.
If the ticket gets accepted, I’ll start working on it right away.

Thanks for offering to contribute a fix, James. I think the ordering is fine as is: it seems to be in rough order of importance and clustered by similar features.

hello I want to help with this documentation update if it’s still open for contribution. Please let me know if you're already working on a patch, otherwise I can take a look.

Apologies for the delay, got distracted by something. Patch as ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/20810

I'm not certain all of these were checked for inlines, e.g. from a manual test I don't see a way to use sortable_by to do anything with inlines, as there is no changelist for them.
