class Meta:
order_with_respect_to = 'question'
When ``order_with_respect_to`` is set, two additional methods are provided to
retrieve and to set the order of the related objects: ``get_RELATED_order()``
and ``set_RELATED_order()``, where ``RELATED`` is the lowercased model name. For
example, assuming that a ``Question`` object has multiple related ``Answer``
objects, the list returned contains the primary keys of the related ``Answer``
objects::
>>> question = Question.objects.get(id=1)
>>> question.get_answer_order()
[1, 2, 3]
The order of a ``Question`` object's related ``Answer`` objects can be set by
passing in a list of ``Answer`` primary keys::
>>> question.set_answer_order([3, 1, 2])
The related objects also get two methods, ``get_next_in_order()`` and
``get_previous_in_order()``, which can be used to access those objects in their
proper order. Assuming the ``Answer`` objects are ordered by ``id``::
>>> answer = Answer.objects.get(id=2)
>>> answer.get_next_in_order()
<Answer: 3>
>>> answer.get_previous_in_order()
<Answer: 1>
