Can't change column order from document content type

Hi,
I noticed a strange error in our SharePoint 2010 environment:
We are using a SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition which was migrated from a MOSS 2007 Enterprise Edition with one central document library.
In this library are several content types plus the given document content type which was already there.
When I try to edit the column order in the document content type settings the following error occurs:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description:
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and
where it originated in the code.
Exception Details:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location
of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.
Stack Trace:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.ChangeFieldOrderPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +376
System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +65
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +2427
This error only occurs with the document content type. Furthermore I am not able to reproduce this error on other libraries except when
I am using a template from this library.
I tried to delete this content type but every time an error occurs which is saying that the content type is still in use. I checked the entire library and all informations from the SharePoint Manager 2010 Tool but the content type is definitely no longer in
use.
I appreciate every little bit of help regarding this problem.
PS:
There is also another error concerning every content type in this library: I can’t create a new or use the standard Microsoft document information panel template because every time I try to there also occurs an error which
states out a NullReferenceException regarding the metadata of this library. But that is another story which is next on my to-do list. First I would like to solve the first error concerning the column order.
Thanks and regards,
Thomas K.

Hi TKellner,
Thanks for your post.
1.
Please try to use the code below to check whether the Content Type is in used.

Can you open the Document Library in SharePoint Designer 2010? Also, can you open the template file correctly?
Share the result.

Can I change pre-orders from In-Store Pickup to Ship-to-Home?

Right out of the gates, I know I'm far from the first person to have concerns about amiibos and pre-orders associated with them.
I have all of wave 3 as well as the Best Buy exclusive Meta-Knight preordered for In-Store Pickup, but my Wave 2 preorders have been extremely hit or miss thus far. My Little Mac never showed up in store, and when the CS representative there offered to have one shipped to me, it was cancelled. My Pit never showed up, and I was never even given a chance for a contingency. I had just missed out on it entirely.
My friends who pre-ordered with Ship-to-Home have had little to no issue, so if possible, I would like to change my preorders to be handled that way.
Overall, and like many others, I'm very disappointed with Best Buy's In-Store Pickup option. As a result, I find myself backing up pre-orders with other retailers. I'm not wild about the concept of preordering with Best Buy being such a gamble. If there's any way to shift me over to Best Buy's more reliable Ship-to-Home option, I would very much like to do it.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Hi there ActionKazimer,
The amiibo figures are wildly popular! I can understand why you would be concerned with your store pickup pre-order if you haven't had the best of luck with your previous ones, which I am deeply sorry to hear about.
Sadly, as the amiibos are currently sold out online, we would be unable to modify your order for shipping to your home. With that said, at this time your best bet would be to keep the pre-orders as they are. I apologize if this was not the response you were hoping for when you reached out to us on the forum.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Cannot delete Document Content Type. Getting error "Document Content Type Still in use" powershell, sharepoint 2013

not able to delete "Document" content type from a library. I have a custom content type. I have added the custom content type to all the items of library. also, i have added the custom columns from "Document" content type to my custom

Missing Columns from List Content Type

Hi,
I'm having some strange problems with one of my site collections, I have site content types with a few columns in it and I'm using them in 3 different libraries.
However recently something happened and it seems the list content types in one of the libraries have stopped using some of the columns set out in the site content type (according to library settings). The columns still show as part of the list (and the metadata
is still in there), when I've tried adding them back to the list content types, I do not see them in the list columns group, only in their original column group. If I try to add them to the list from their original group I get the errors similar to the following:

I've tried to make changes to the parent site content type, however those changes to not push down to the library in question. The missing columns have varied types (single line of text, lookup, managed metadata and so forth). All of these content types &
site columns were created through the user interface of SharePoint.
Can anyone help me with any ideas what has happened and/or how to fix this problem?

Hi Hans,
As I understand, you have custom content type in 3 libraries, while the issue occurs to the columns in this content type.
I wonder if the issue occurs to other two libraries as well?
From your description, "I've tried to make changes to the parent site content type, however those changes to not push down to the library in question", do you mean that changes in content type are not reflected to the list which is added to this
content type. If that is the case, I'd suggest you recreate content type.
If the site content type works well in other two libraries, please create a new library and add this content type. If it works well, then move the list content to this new list.
Regards,
Rebecca Tu

How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?

Dear SharePoint Developers,
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?
I think this is a "sealed column", whatever that is, which is shown in SPD 2013 as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, it is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page, the column order that I set in the settings page is NOT used for this "sealed column" which is bad.
Can you help?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Mark Kamoski

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx.
Per my knowledge, if you have Content Type management enabled for the list or library (if you see a list of content type with the option to add more), the display order of columns is set for each content type.
Drill down into one of them and you'll see the option under the list of columns for that content type.
To apply the column order in the NewDocSet.aspx page, you need to:
Select Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, click Content type publishing. In the Refresh All Published
Content Types section, choose Refresh all published content types on next
update.
Run two timer jobs(Content Type Hub, Content Type Subscriber) in central admin(Central Administration--> Monitoring--> Review timer jobs).

Changed column order not applied to interactive report

Hi,
I've changed column order for interactive report.
But it is not applied.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks,
Guy

Hi Guy
It depends on where you have changed the column order. If you change the column order using the 'Select Columns' function when you click on the 'Wheel of Magic', then it should work.
If you are changing the column order from the Interactive Reports Attributes page then this will only affect the column order for non displayed items and the single row view.
I hope that helps

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
**One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

Hello Pokerplayer62,
In order to update the order of items in your playlists on the iPod Nano, you have to update them on the computer, and then sync the updated playlists to your device.
From the iPod Nano User guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_us/ipod_nano_features_guide.pdf
To set iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with selected playlists:
Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. Click the Options button and click Music.
Select “Automatically update selected playlists only.” Select the playlists you want.
All the best,

Can i change XSLT Processor from BIP XSLT Processor to Xalan???

Hi Oracle friends,
I have a problem.....
...i'm not able to insert into customizable XSL-FO layout file the current-date() function and other similars, ....and, for this reason, i searched a solution and i have understood that the problem may be the XSLT Processor that doesn't agree extended namespaces of current date and time functions.
I read that in order to activate these namespaces with functions it is necessary a Xalan or Saxon XSLT processor.
After i tried to run the same customized XSL-FO file with Stylus Studio and (with a Saxon Processor) it's ok.
How can i change XSLT Processor from Oracle BIP XSLT Processor to Xalan(or Saxon)???

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

Kay,
If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header. If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

How can I change the order SubVIs are loaded?

Hello,
I have a SubVI which needs to be called before any other SubVI. I tried to put that SubVI in another VI which again calls a second SubVI with the rest of the application:
MainSubVI --- call ---> 'Need-to-be-loaded-first-VI'
|
'- call ---> 'Start-VI'
|
'- call ---> 'Rest-of-application-VI'
The problem is that there is one SubVI - saved in 'Rest-of-application-VI' - which is loaded before the 'Need-to-be-loaded-first-VI'.
How can I change the order SubVIs are loaded?
Thanks,
Johannes

Hai,
If you wish to load the VI into memory or block the VI from loading the memory immediatly after the parent VI loads....Use "Call by referance Node" with call setup as "Reload for each call" which will load theVI into memory only when the VI is supposed to execute.
With regards,
JK

How can i change my order shipping address~

I'm now being abroad , my family moved to NY from CA a few days ago ,but my order shipping adress was still my CA address ,how can i change my order shipping address except phonecall ,can someone please give me the apple serve Email which can chage my shipping address before Oct 8th when the product post~
thx a lot!
my email ad:[email protected]

Have you tried to change your address with DHL? I think that will solve your problem if changing address with Apple is so hard, or too late at the moment.
And I suggest you to call instead of sending emails, it's way more efficient. I know you are in China, but I don't see why you can't make a phone call from there.
In addition, you can try track your DHL shipment via this service, http://dhl.trackingnumber.org/, it shows the location on a map.

Can I change the order of lines in a drop-down menu?

Can I change the order of items on a drop-down menu? Specifically, the "open" menu that comes up when I right-click on a link.
Putting "open in new tab" on top of "in new window" makes sense, of course, since it is used more often. But I do a lot of surfing, and had the old position in muscle memory. Re-training my brain to click on the first line instead of the second is taking a long time, and makes me grumbly.
I'd love to put it back to the old order. Can I? and, if so, how do I do it? (Please give me detailed instructions, IOW, please assume I am a complete simpleton, because sometimes I am.)
