This is one of those cases where reading the newforms source is going to be the best way to work out the answers. It shouldn't be too hard for anybody who wants this kind of depth to trace through what is going on. If you have a look in newforms.forms.Form, you can see it uses DeclarativeFieldsMetaclass.__new__ to set up the fields (in the base_field attribute) and that is a SortedDict. Then BaseForm.__init__ makes a copy of base_fields for you to modify if you wish and it is iterated over a dictionary in other places. So you would need to make the fields attribute be a new copy of a SortedDict with the fields in the order you want, probably using fields.items() and then SortedDictFromList.
