Description
With order_with_respect_to
, we can do something like this:
class Book(models.Model): pass class Chapter(models.Model): book = models.ForeignKey(Book, on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Meta: order_with_respect_to = 'book'
It would be very nice to add some obvious features to this feature, for example:
book.get_chapter_order()
returns the IDs of the chapters. Why not the chapter objects itself?
- Given a chapter, we can get the next and the previous chapters, but we can't easily get that chapter's order.
- It would be very nice to be able to add a chapter directly in a specific position, pretty much like python's
insert
. For example:book.insert_chapter(chapter, 3)
I know it's a very broad request, but, if you guys like the idea, I'd love to take a look if I can add the functions myself (one at a time, to get your approval on each of them).

Ideally, a ticket should propose one feature rather than several. I'm not sure what complexity might be involved in these issues, but I guess we could evaluate a patch.
