The Django volunteers are quick. Yesterday I created my first Django ticket: Django ticket #10431, and it didn’t last half an hour before somebody answered.

The answer wasn’t long: It just said “Dupe of Django ticket #8164>”.

Yes, I didn’t look at the SortedDict class. And this solution of just setting SortedDict.keyOrder is better and simpler than my method.

But where is this update? The patch is marked “Accepted”, but is not yet in the trunk. How can I now get it? Answer:

• Download the patch from http://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/8164/modelforms-fields-order.diff

• Then in a command shell:

  L:\snapshot\django>patch < c:\temp\modelforms-fields-order.diff
  can't find file to patch at input line 5
  Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
  The text leading up to this was:
  --------------------------
  |diff --git a/django/forms/models.py b/django/forms/models.py
  |index e6bbb98..d5eab82 100644
  |--- a/django/forms/models.py
  |+++ b/django/forms/models.py

  File to patch:
  L:\snapshot\django>cd trunk
