I have a model which represents a tree structure using a foreign key to itself:

class Foo(models.Model):
        name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
        parent = models.ForeignKey('Foo')

My problem is that "django-admin dumpdata" does not sort the rows such that it avoids forward references for the foriegn key values, which is a problem since I'm using MySQL InnoDB tables. I see that this problem seems to be fixed in the devel tree (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3615), but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I could easily do in the interim.

Since I know there are no circular references, I can write a script to postprocess the dumpdata output and reorder to avoid forward references.

Is there an easier alternative that I've missed?

Thanks!

me
