How do you change the order of fields in edit or display forms?
It's a question a lot of end users struggle with, and I never know the answer without Google. So, I thought I'd put it up here, with some more relevant keywords, so others and I can find it more easily in the future.
1. Go to the list
2. Enter list settings (from the ribbon in 2010, from the drop downs in 2007)
3. Click Advanced settings
4. Ensure ‘allow management of content types’ is checked
5. Go back to the list settings
6. In the list of content types associated with the list, click the one you want to change the order of fields for (in lists that have been created ad hoc this is usually item or document).
7. In the bottom of the screen a link appears called ‘Column order’
Hope it helps someone.
After you check it, you should hit OK.

ReplyDeleteDear SharePoint Developer,
ReplyDelete(Thanks for the great article.)
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a particular column in a custom Content Type, for the new item using the NewDocSet.aspx page in SP 2013.
I think this is a "sealed column", which is shown in SPD as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, that column-order is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page to create a new item, the column order on the NewDocSet.aspx page is not correct and does not match the column-order settings I specified.
Do you have any suggestions, hints, ideas, etc?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Mark
Any update for the 2020 version? There's no "column order" link when I click on a column.
