type
2. 2. Add Content Type to the SharePoint List
3.
3. Sorting Content Types in the List
I referred below posts
Start-SPAssignment -Global
function Sort-ContentTypes(
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList]$list) {
Write-Host $list.Title
$rootFolder = $list.RootFolder
$DefaultContentTypeName = "Document" #setting "Document" as default
content type.
$rootFolder.UniqueContentTypeOrder
= $null
$rootFolder.Update()
#Get content types fromt the
button
$contentTypesInPlace = New-Object 'System.Collections.Generic.List[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentType]'
$contentTypesInPlace = $rootFolder.ContentTypeOrder
#Has a default content type name
been specified?
if ($DefaultContentTypeName)
{
$contentType = $contentTypesInPlace | where { $_.Name -eq $DefaultContentTypeName }
if ($contentType -ne $null)
{
#Add the default
content type
$sortedListOfContentTypes = New-Object 'System.Collections.Generic.List[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentType]'
$sortedListOfContentTypes += $list.ContentTypes[$DefaultContentTypeName]
#Remove the
default content type from the list
$contentTypesInPlace = $contentTypesInPlace | where {$_.Name -ne $DefaultContentTypeName}
}
else
{
Write-Error "$DefaultContentTypeName
was not found in the list, sorting by Name alone"
}
}
else
{
Write-host "No
default content type specified"
}
#sort the
remaining content types and add the sorted list
foreach ($contentType in $($contentTypesInPlace | Sort-Object -Property Name ))
{
#Add the content
types
$sortedListOfContentTypes = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentType[]] $sortedListOfContentTypes + $contentType
}
$rootFolder.UniqueContentTypeOrder
= [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentType[]] $sortedListOfContentTypes
#Update the root
folder
$rootFolder.Update()
Write-host "ContentType(s)

##create new
