Custom models display ordering for Django admin dashboard

Django Admin
By default, it displays all the apps in INSTALLED_APPS that have been registered with the admin application, in alphabetical order.

    def get_app_list(self, request):
        """
        Return a sorted list of all the installed apps that have been
        registered in this site.
        """
        app_dict = self._build_app_dict(request)

        # Sort the apps alphabetically.
        app_list = sorted(app_dict.values(), key=lambda x: x['name'].lower())

        # Sort the models alphabetically within each app.
        for app in app_list:
            app['models'].sort(key=lambda x: x['name'])

        return app_list

There are multiple ways to achieve this on the internet

Adding a numeric prefix for each verbose_name_plural in App Model Meta

Override admin/base.html tempalte

Override AdminSite class and get_app_list() method

For this article, I will be using a way that to override the get_app_list class method only without overriding the class.
How to do it?
Define the class method normally.

def get_app_list(self, request):
    """
    Return a sorted list of all the installed apps that have been
    registered in this site.
    """
    # Retrieve the original list
    app_dict = self._build_app_dict(request)
    app_list = sorted(app_dict.values(), key=lambda x: x['name'].lower())

    # Sort the models customably within each app.
    for app in app_list:
        if app['app_label'] == 'auth':
            ordering = {
                'Users': 1,
                'Groups': 2
            }
            app['models'].sort(key=lambda x: ordering[x['name']])

    return app_list

Some things to take note,

Retrieve the original list

Define the ordering for each app, as the model names are different

I am using app_lable to specify which app to apply

The medel name is verbose_name_plural or verbose_name

Then update the method with custom method

admin.AdminSite.get_app_list = get_app_list
