Answer 1

Hi @Happy Lilfishy ,

Here are steps to Change the order of alert email notifications columns:

1.Navigate to the list or library settings (Gear Icon > List or Library Settings)

2.Click on Column Ordering

3.Change the order as necessary. Click OK

If you have enabled content types in your list or library, you will not be able to utilize a previous technique. Once you enable Content Types, you must change the order of columns in a SharePoint list or library using content type settings.

To change column order for every content type:

1. Navigate to the list or library settings and choose the content type whose columns you want to change
2. On the Content Type screen, click Column order
3. Change the order of columns as necessary and click OK
