  I am new to SharePoint, and I am implementing a team site. I can’t use SharePoint designer in our company, and don’t have access to the server , but I have full control permission as being member of the owner of the site.
    I have created document library which content folders, by default folder are ordered in the library in the alphabetical order, as requirement for the site I need to have the folder in a particular order in the library.Â
 From idea got online, I have created a content type contenttype1 containing a numeric columns that I have associated to the folder I want in a particular order in my library which help me to change the default alphabetical folder ordered to a wanted order. My concern is that the contenttype1 appears in the new document menu and is the only content type that will be in that document library. I would like it not to appear there.
I have tried the change new button order option in the library to hide the content type, but it does help as that library have only 1 content type and to hide a content type not to appear in new button using change new button order an out of box feature option, the library need to have more than 1 content type such that at least 1 is not hidden. but in my case the library have only 1 content type.
- Is there any out of box solution to hide a content type to display in the new document menu other thechange new button order ?or any other solution that doesn’t need designer that a site owner may implement with his permission level.
Thanks.
I came across this article when I was setting up my first SharePoint Farm. We put our implementation on hold and rethought our rollout. We were going to do a dump of our shared drives into SharePoint libraries and this article opened our eyes. It’s a good read for someone new to ShaerPoint.
You might be able to do what you’re trying to do with Metadata tags instead of folders. Folders to have their place for certain things but I find that they make things more cumbersome in SharePoint sometimes.
