manage.py syncdb --noinput --settings=foo does not work as expected (the order matters)

[Paul Winkler]

If you want to run manage.py with --noinput and use a different settings file, this works:

python manage.py syncdb --settings=my.settings.module --noinput

But if --noinput comes first, the --settings option is silently ignored!
Like this:

python manage.py syncdb --noinput --settings=my.settings.module

When run like that, it appears to work, but the user will later be unpleasantly surprised to discover that the default settings module was really used.
