Order items with the django-admin interface

Lets say I have a django model looking like this:

class question(models.Model):
  order = models.IntegerField('Position')
  question = models.CharField(max_length= 400)
  answer = models.TextField()
  published = models.BooleanField()

  def __unicode__(self):
    return self.question

In my view I show all of the questions ordered ascending by the order field.

My question is: Is there an easy way to edit the order field in the django admin interface? Right now, I have to go to edit the Question, then look up what number to put in the order field and maybe even reorder all the other items. What i really want would be some "up and down"-arrows on the admin page where all the questions are listed.

Is that possible?

You can use django-admin-sortable2 to easily change the order of items including inline items as well.

In case someone else is seeking the solution for that issue in 2017, I found the great package Django Admin Sortable

Check this: django-orderedmodel.

This is a really simple implementation of abstract base class for items which can be ordered with admin interface. No external dependencies and easy to use.
