I don't know if this is the "right" solution or not. In my home grown framework I've got a doubly linked list implementation.
My intention in Django is to write an application Ordered_List that would be a functioning doubly linked list with minimal data fields (currently just a name for each list to keep me sane during testing). I'm thinking that I could import from this app and sub class from it without having it in INSTALLED_APPS. To be able to mix-in arbitrary ordering with any other model. Brand new to Django, but if it goes well I'll post the code. If someone has a better/easier solution feel free to share it. --Lucki On Apr 4, 9:57 am, "Nathan R.
