I have a document library and need to make the arrows that appear when you hover over a column to be always visible. Is it possible to do this WITHOUT SharePoint designer? The company I work for won't allow access to anyone and the person with access won't make edits such as that.

The following CSS should make the column arrows visible at all times, not only on hover:

a.ms-headerSortArrowLink > img {
    visibility: visible !important;
}

You can apply this CSS to:

  • a single list view - you need access to edit list view pages. Steps: edit the list view page, add a Script Editor web part to the page, and then inside it paste the CSS above between the <style>insert_CSS_here</style> tags.
  • all list views in the site - you need full control access on the site. Steps: create a CSS file with the above CSS, upload the file to the Site Assests library of the site, and then go to Site Settings > Master Page > Alternate CSS URL > pick third option > click Browse and select the CSS file uploaded earlier in the Site Assests library > click OK.
  • all lists views in the site collection - you need to be a site collection admin. Same steps as the applying the CSS to all list views in a site, but you need to do those on the root site of the site collection.
