In standard, datasheet, and Gantt views, you can
change the order of the columns you chose to display. For example, you
might want to show the title of the item first, followed by the date it
was created, and then the date it was modified; or you might want the
title to be followed by the modification date and then the creation
date.
Note
In calendar view you don’t have the option to reorder columns because only one column appears (two in daily and weekly views).
To rearrange the order of the
columns in the view, use the Position from Left drop-down boxes. These
drop-down boxes contain numbers that you can choose for the column
order. If you want a column to be displayed first, change the number in
the drop-down box next to that column to 1. The next column should be
2, and so on. If you change a column that had a higher number to a
lower number (say, from 4 to 1), the other columns automatically
arrange themselves. For example, changing the Position from Left
setting for the Title column that had the value 4 to the value 1
automatically changes the three columns that are before it (Recurrence,
Attachments, and Workspace) to be 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
Note
The Title (or Name, in
document libraries) column usually appears three times in this view
creation page because there are three different ways to show the title
for a list item. The simplest one is just Title, which displays the
title of the list item or document as regular text. The second option
is Title (Linked to Item), which displays the title as a link to the
item. The last option is Title (Linked to Item with Edit Menu), which
displays the title as a link but also allows a drop-down menu to open
when the mouse cursor hovers over the title. This last one is the
default in most views.
