Sort 'Quick Launch' in alphabetical order - SharePoint 2010 - sharepoint

Just a quick question about the 'Quick Launch' panel in SharePoint 2010
Is it possible to remove document libraries from the quick launch panel?
Also is it possible to sort the 'Quick Launch' in alphabetical order?
I have been through the settings in the 'Look and feel' tab - There must be a better way of sorting your document libraries than selecting the order manually?
Thanks

you could do this by going to site actions>site settings then navigation. You'll see in the navigation editing and sorting part, the current navigation is the quick launch navigation. You could freely remove every single one of the items and change them with the links you want. Unfortunately, you can't arrange them in alphabetical order in an instant.

To sort the left nav alphabetically within headings (at least in SP 2010):
Click Site Actions > Site Settings.
Under Look and Feel, click Navigation.
In the Sorting section, click Sort automatically. The Automatic Sorting section will appear.
In the Automatic Sorting section, set the sorting options you want.
Click OK.

Believe me you can sort them, by re-arranging the number.
Follow this step:
Site Action - Site Settings - Quick Launch - in the menu at the top of the page select change order.
There you will be able too number the order you want your list in.

Sorting in SSRS on Detail View

I'm asking on behalf of a coworker for this question.
She is using Visual Studio 2012/SQL Server 2012.
In EXCEL how you can sort easily from A-Z, Z-A and stuff of the sort in real time, is there a way to be able to do that in SSRS? Say a user drills from main view into detail view...is there a way with the info they can sort/mess around with it prior to exporting to excel?
Yes there is.. Click on the header line for the column that you want to sort.. right click - Text Box Properties - Interactive Sorting then choose the Enable Interactive Sorting on this text box and then choose which field you want to sort by... when you run the report.. you will get an arrow next to the header that you can click to sort.. you can do this on multiple columns.. and if you wanted to sort by more than one column... you sort it by clicking on column one.. hold down shift and then the next column.. done.. the arrows do not print or export.. it's visible only on interactive view.

SharePoint 2010 - Search configurations

How to remove the lists and items should not be appear in the search results page.

Go to the Lists Settings in web browser. Then chose Advanced Settings and in Search section select answer for "Allow items from this list to appear in search results?"

SharePoint DropDown List Filter

I want to be able to filter a SharePoint list based on the values present (easy by clicking the filter button at the top of the list for each column). However I'd like to give options in a drop down menu and once chosen the list would be refilted based on the options I give. Is this possibile to do in the browser or would it require designer or actual code? Thank you.
This is all SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Server knowledge; I've never used 2007.
What #Ryan is alluding to here is that you can click a down-arrow on most list columns to filter them. One caveat is that if the column is multi-select, it won't display a drop-down. (SharePoint doesn't know how to group, filter, or sort on multi-select columns.) Another caveat could be that if you're displaying the list items in such a way that their headings don't appear (such as in a List View web part, or maybe in some of the styles...) you obviously won't be able to filter.
A solution might be to use a "SharePoint List Filter" web part, which uses a list column as the source for filter values which can then be sent to other web parts -- such as a List View web part. Presumably, you could use the list you're intending to filter as a source for the Filter web part itself. From a UX perspective maybe this might help you display the list with different styling, but still get the drop-down filter directly in the content area.
A caveat with the "SharePoint List Filter" web part is that it's not actually a drop-down per se, but instead shows a little filter icon that pops up a dialog in which users then have to select a value.
Note there's also the "Managed Metadata Navigation" feature that would give users dropdowns (for e.g. choice columns) and metadata filter fields (for managed metadata columns). These show up in the Quick Launch (left-nav area) if configured on the list/library settings. The feature must first be enabled on the site.

Sharepoint re-order item order in the list

In the list, I set-up "ID" column and "Title" column.
I added 10 items in the list, and I'm trying to put the 10th item between 1 and 2.
After my research, many people said I can't manually change ID number...
Is there a way to re-order the item?
deleting every items is the only answer?
Please help!
The ID column is an internal identity-like column. You cannot change the value. If you need a column that you can order by (and change), just create a new column called SortOrder or something. Then sort by that column.
I know this is an old post, but I thought this might help someone who might be looking for an OOB answer.
Go into your links list so that you see your List Tools, Items and List at the top.
Select Items.
There is a Change Item Order Icon in the Ribbon. This will allow you to renumber the Links in your list and change the order.
You can manually change the items order if you create your list based on a link list definition. This kind of list allows you to re-order items as you require through a ribbon button. I use this workaround often.
The ID Column is SharePoint inbuilt and you can not change the value of it.
for your solution either you need to delete all item and insert it again or as #Nigel Whatling say you have to add SortColumn
Column Setting will only change the order in the SharePoint List. To change the view order Use the Modify View Selector to adjust the way the fields are sorted. Modify View is found on the ... next to Find and Item Box or If your in the site setting it is under View on the lower 3rd of the page
I also got stuck with this and couldn't use the previous answers as I couldn't see the buttons they spoke of in the ribbon.
I went to List > List Settings in the ribbon. At the bottom of the list settings page I click on a View to edit it (or create new view). Unser the heading Sort you can change the column you wish to sort by and change from descending to ascending etc.
Actually, if I understand the question, it was just what I was trying to accomplish and spent most of my morning working on.
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Below the listed columns, see Column Ordering
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.
Updated steps:
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Above the Column list click on the "Item" link
At the bottom of the page select "Column Ordering"
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.

Limit Column Options in Advanced Find

In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 you can create views using advanced find. Inside advanced find, you should define for a specific entity which columns you want to see in the result.
What I want to do is limit or hide specific columns that people can choose for the advanced find.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi Rob,
Out of the box you can disable a column from being 'searched' --
listed in the filtering area of the advanced find.
However, all fields that a user can read are avail for selection in
the advanced find. The only method to change this would be custom
code in a 'plug-in'. Then with a plug-in just about anything is
possible as it is compiled code and you could filter out certain
columns from being available.

The comments by Alex Fagundes, with all due respect, are wrong. As ckeller suggested, you can limit the columns displayed to the user, and you certainly don't need a plug-in to do this (nor could you even if you wanted to, so far as I know).
In the client, all you have to do is navigate to the entity the advanced find view of which you want to change, click the "Customize" tab, click "System Views", click on the advanced find view, click "Add Columns", select/deselect the columns you do/don't want to see, then publish your changes.
You can also select/deselect columns of any appropriate related entity this way as well.
If you mean search columns (fields they can search by):
To limit the columns they see in an advanced find search, you have a fun job on your hands.
Go to Settings -> Customisations -> and choose the entity you want and list all the fields.
Double click on each field in turn and you will see a drop down menu called 'Searchable'. Set this to 'No' and the field is hidden from Advanced find searches (after you publish your changes).
Repeat this for all fields required.
If you mean fields they see in their results:

The solution of Peter will only change the default view for advanced find. The user will still be able to add all columns and customize his own view.
Fields cannot be removed from "add column" in advanced find OOTB. This is what Alex Fagundes from PowerObjects has written.
