“Column ordering” not showing up SharePoint List

Missing the Column Ordering button on the List settings screen? Need to figure out how to move items around on the edit screen? Recently I ran into this issue where the “Column Ordering” option that was normally there went missing on a few of my lists.
Go to the list you want to edit
Click on any of the 3 links listed under the Columns section
In the URL bar, replace the aspx page with “formEdt.aspx” and that will bring you to the Column ordering section.
To get that link this is what I did:
Site Actions => Site Settings
Under “Site Administration”
Click on “Site Libraries and lists”
Click around on those lists until you have one that has the “Column Ordering” Link. Should be under the Columns section:
Click on the Column ordering link or right click and view properties. Copy out the page
“formEdt.aspx”

If you go to “Settings” then “Advanced Settings” and set “Allow management of content types?” to “No”, the column ordering link should appear.
That was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks!!
Thank you!! I thought I was loosing my mind. On Monday column ordering link was there, then the next day not so much. I must have changed the Allow Management of Content to Yes when I was mucking around. Thank you again for taking the time to post this fix!
Thanks a lot, My problem is solved.
