tn img 07901 SharePoint Winner takes a Picture of his Gift Cards

As we reported in one of our previous posts: 2008 Sleepless Winners. The picture above shows the what $5,095 in Bestbuy gift cards look like. The break down was 10 $500 cards + one $75 and one $25 card. I heard one winner promptly went out and used it to buy a Sony Playstation 3. Thanks Microsoft!

“Column ordering” not showing up SharePoint List

/* Posted May 2nd, 2008 at 10:18am [Comments: 4] */
/* Filed under Microsoft, Programming, SharePoint */

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.
