You can order the fields in Newforms. Just add "self.fields.keyOrder = ['field1', 'field2', 'field3']" to your form's __init__ function: def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields.keyOrder = ['field1', 'field2', 'field3']

Both newforms.forms.BaseForm._html_output and your custom rendering function (which I guess is based on _html_output) need some refactoring to be more simple and easy to understand.

Ajax integration with newforms will be really appreciated.

I think you misunderstood Bosco. These change’s most likely won’t go into trunk, at least not by my hand.

Of these 5 points you listed, I think two (field ordering and rendering of individual fields) would be very nice to have for anyone who does any serious work with new forms.

Really good.

Please, could you inform the dates you are planning to put these changes in trunk?

Thanks

Thank you. I am glad I got into django before there was an option. Makes things much simpler.

Best,
