[ # ] “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

Create column

Add from existing site columns

Indexed columns

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:

Create column

Add from existing site columns

Column ordering

Indexed columns

Click on the Column ordering link or right click and view properties. Copy out the page
“formEdt.aspx”
