Sorting queryset?

Question

Django

There is a ModelForm with a ModelChoiceField(queryset=Country.objects.all().order_by("name")) The countries are selected in the select, you need to move the Russia element to the very beginning of the option list, but at the same time keep the sorting, is it possible do in the form? or better through js?

class YourForm(forms.Form):
    field1 = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset = MyModel.objects.all() )

form = YourForm(initial = {'field1': instance_of_mymodel.pk })

or something like

queryset=[
    Country.objects.filter(name="Russia"), 
    Country.objects.exclude(name="Russia").order_by("name")]

Answer 2

you also need to add a field to the country model, for example
class Country(models.Model):
...
sort = models.IntegerField(default=4000)
well, assign 1 to Russia, and sort by two fields sort, name
can also be done through js
