Hide column header or first field in a list
 

I have a named list. The first field in the list always seems to take on the
Header Row property. If I delete the row Column 1 then appears. I am
referencing the list as a validation drop down and Column 1 or what ever the
first field is becomes a valid selection. If I replace Column 1 with a vaild
choice it will not sort a-z but remains as the first item. Anyway around
that?
