Hi All, I created a Glossary page for my items on Sharepoint.
When i build the columns that allows me to hyperlink the pages to the content, it would not allow me to do so further 255 words.
How can i do it in a more efficient way?

Hello @TanEmillieona7-6064 ,
Welcome to Q&A Forum!
According to my research, the Hyperlink column in a SharePoint list or library have a 255 character limit. You can create a Multi-lines of Text column to solve this problem.
Please following steps:
1.Create a Multi-lines of Text column and check "Use enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" option.

2.Edit item and click on the Edit icon next to the column.

3.On the Edit panel, click on the … icon and select "Add or edit hyperlink"

4.Enter the URL

Hi Echo,
I do have a curious question why do they make 255 for one side and have to go the steps like you mentioned to make the links longer? Why is it not a direct straightforward solution to this?
Also, the other question is :
When i make folders in SharePoint and number them 1 to 10 when it hits 10, the 10th folder jumps to the top.
I will have to number them 0.1 to 10 for it to obey the sequence of 10, 11, 12 thereafter. Is there a better way to rearrange or number them so it will not jump?
Thank you :)
Hi @TanEmillieona7-6064 ,
For your first question, this is by design. The URL field in a SharePoint list or library have a 255 character limit.
For the second question, we suggest you open a new post. In the Q&A forum, we support the one-post-one-question principle.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
Thanks,
Echo Du
