SharePoint Alert - Columns displayed within the alert
Hi,Is there any rhyme or reason to how the calumns are displayed within an email alert? I currently have a SharePoint list alerting off of the view... when the alert email is sent the columns are in a different order than in the view. The columns are in a different order than in the all items view and within the content type as well. I cannot figure out why the columns are displayed in the order they are. Any help would be much appreciated!!! THANKS!

Go to your list/library and click on Settings > List/Document Library Settings > scroll down to the Columns section and click on Column Ordering. Are they in this order?If so, you can change the order that they are in. See if you alerts us the new order. If not, try deleting the alerts and recreating them when you have the columns in the desired order. Chris Caravajal MCTS SharePoint Help

@ Chris Caravajal We don't have this option. We have Sharepoint 2010 and work with content types. Maybe this last thing has something to do with the fact we don't have this option. The default order of collumns in the notification is the order in which you created the collumns in the list. The only way to change the order I can find so far is, backup all list data, delete all collumns and recreate them. Then import the backed up list data. Florisz
