The 'Django' way of handling this is to split your models into different 'apps'. They then get their own division automatically. Like you I have a lot of models in one app (about 20), and splitting them up doesn't make much sense since they logically belong together, and my urlconf would be much harder if they were split up. For me, simply sorting the list of models alphabetically would be a sufficient solution to this problem. I had a patch for this in the past but it got lost. I'll have another go -- I don't know if it would be good enough for your situation, but it would be a start.
