You can override [this method in your `AdminSite` class](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.AdminSite.get_app_list) to implement this any way you’d like. That method exists as a published API so you would be able to rely upon it, subject to the normal Django deprecation policy.
