If you have a Site content type and if there are more than one lists that are using it. Sometimes you might have requirement to change column names and column order only in one or more lists but not all. If you make these changes to Site Content Type then it will affect all. You can try doing it at List Content Type level rather than at Site Content Type level. It is fully supported. You can make some interesting local changes that are applicable to one or more list but not to all. For example you can delete some columns in the list content type for one or more lists or you can change column order etc.
I am passionate about working on any assignment that uses BizTalk, SQL Server and/or SharePoint Server. I will try to blog about my technical stuff as well some interesting stuff from the kitchen. After getting married in 2008 I hardly get any time to share with communities. I intend to mange my time better. Let’s see how far I can stand on my words :).
