+In prior versions of Django, the formset instance was not iterable. To render
+the formset you iterated over the ``forms`` list like this::
+
+    >>> formset = ArticleFormSet()
+    >>> for form in formset.forms:
+    ...     print form.as_table()
+
+Iterating over the ``forms`` list will render the forms in the order
+they were created. The default formset iterator also renders forms in
+this order.
