Then I ordered the columns inside the content type so that the list column lookup will be second, then I saved the sub site as a template.
After that I created a new sub site based on the template,, and I checked the column order inside the content type , but unfortunately I found that the lookup list column will be last in the order instead of being second?
So can anyone advice what is the problem and what might be causing this , seems SP will place any list column at the end of the order regardless the order inside the site template? Thanks
