The keyboard focus is set by a !JavaScript call to `document.getElementById(""id_foo"").focus()`, where the ID is specified in the `change_form.html` template as `{{adminform.first_field.auto_id}}`. So an underlying issue is that `AdminForm.first_field()` (in `contrib/admin/options.py`) does not respect the re-ordering. I am experiencing this using the current Subversion HEAD, revision 8272. For example, consider this simple model in `models.py`: {{{ class MyModel(models.Model): foo = models.CharField(max_length=255) bar = models.CharField(max_length=255) }}} and this simple admin configuration in `admin.py`: {{{ class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): fields = ('bar', 'foo') admin.site.register(MyModel,MyModelAdmin) }}} Then try to add a new !MyModel object using the admin interface, and notice that they keyboard focus starts out at the bottom rather than the top of the form." closed contrib.admin dev fixed newforms-admin ciantic@… Accepted 1 0 0 1 0 0
