doubtintom, It's Incredible how we do pretty the same things at the same time ! I can only add that I've tried to override (like a blind in the dark...) also: -get_result -get_ordering from the main View (ChangeList), nothing happen and of course the behaviour is the same.
I know It's not a good thing to hack and customize the admin but when you just have 1 or 2 things to change, It's not fair to rebuild (against the DRY) another admin+1 little thing from scratch ! :) Please Help us.
