About Reordering Dictionary Keys and Values
You can reorder the keys of a dictionary using this dictionary comprehension:
import json
with open("data.json", "r") as file:
data = json.load(file)
new_order = ["title", "slug", "status"]
data = {key: data[key] for key in new_order if key in data}
That can be used practically to reorder the form fields like so:
from django import forms
from .models import Post, Category
class PostForm(forms.ModelForm)
categories = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
queryset=Category.objects.all(),
required=False
)
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ["title", "slug", "status"]
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
field_order = [
"title",
"slug",
"categories",
"status",
]
self.fields = {
key: self.fields[key]
for key in field_order
if key in self.fields
}
