Since r7806, the User field is unsorted which makes it harder to find specific users in the list if there is more than a few. This snippet is an django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin subclass which searches through all of the fields on a form and automatically sorts fields which have a relation with User. It also filters on having active=True.

Just import the SortedActiveUserModelAdmin class in your admin.py and subclass your ModelAdmin classes from it instead of admin.ModelAdmin.
