You could always use a proxy model instead of monkey patching.
class MyUser(User):
class Meta:
proxy = True
ordering = ('first_name', 'last_name')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.get_full_name()
Then in any models you define a FK to User, just FK to MyUser instead.

Is there a reason that the default ordering on the User model is by
pk? Would it be a reasonable request to ask that the default ordering
for this model be username? I have several models that have a m2m to
the User model, and it's very hard to find someone to add using the
