Change order of columns in a list

Posted By: Posted Date: September 29, 2010 Points: 0 Category :SharePoint

Hi there

I'm looking for a way to change the order of the colums in a list in SharePoint 2010. I only have access to SharePoint Designer 2010 for editing the site.

I already looked at the function to create custom views for lists. However this are only useful when viewing the list as a whole, however when you edit an existing, or create a new entry you will see

first: the columns in the order in which they were created.
and second: all of the columns. i cant find a way to make certain columns invisible for the user.

I already looked through the functions that are given to me by SharePoint Designer 2010 when editing the columns of a list and I also checked for a way to change the order of the columns when surfing the actual website with Internet Explorer.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or am I just trying to find a function that doesn't make sense because it's covered by another feature?

Thanks for your help!

custom list template columns not in order (not keeping required fields)

I have a template (based on a custom content type) that I got working just the way I want it. All the list forms are in the order I want with the fields showing that I want. I saved this list as a template and create List#2 from that template, but its forms don't show all the required fields (they don't show on the form), and some items are out of order. Can anyone explain this to me please? I am working towards a site definition that needs everything just so.

Trying to move FK links from list as columns to my navigation area.

Hello,

I'm using vs2010, EF. I have a left column simular to a navigation area and I'm trying to figure out a way to display the FK links that appear at the end of a list as columns, in my navigation area. One thought was to place a duplicate table in the navigation area and hide all the columns except for the FK links. Is there an easier way to accomplish this.

Thanks, Jeff

DataGridView>Edit Columns> Column Read Only property is unwilling to change

Hello, I am facing the following mystery: When changing the read only property of a column to false and reopening the "edit columns" window, it mysteriously turns back to true. Even when closing the designer and changing it in the designer code, the resulting execution does not allow edit, as well as when re-opening the designer you see true again. this.numberDataGridViewTextBoxColumn1.DataPropertyName = "Number"; this.numberDataGridViewTextBoxColumn1.HeaderText = "Number"; this.numberDataGridViewTextBoxColumn1.Name = "numberDataGridViewTextBoxColumn1"; this.numberDataGridViewTextBoxColumn1.ReadOnly = true;//False is required We thought it might be related to data binding. rebinding the grid did not help as well. The is no other place in the code where it changes. Please advice, Thanks

How do I change the order of column names in EditForm.aspx

How do you change the datasource for a list based on another? ie a secondary list being a filtered

I'm actually using Sharepoint 2007, but am hoping this forum will help. We want to be able to create a list based on a filtered view of another list. I can create a Filtered List in Designer, but evidently this is saved as a query object on the server and not as another list that can be selected when using the basic Sharepoint tools. In other words, it's only visible when in Designer. This means that in order to use this for say a lookup column in another list object, I have to modify the datasource tags for the EditForm and NewForm.aspx pages within Designer. Also, it means that adding a column would constantly require use of Designer. We need this to be simple as not all those tasked with administrating pages will know how to do this. I thought it would be easier if I could simply source a secondary list with the filtered list I created in designer. In other words, make a secondary list source be that of a queried view of a master list. Then this list could be used with all the simple tools provided. Is this possible? If so... how?
