If you only have the default document content type then the new button will default to the 4 basic documents that can be created in Office Online server. If you add custom content types then the assumption is that each custom content type has a custom template associated with it. So then the New button will default to showing you the different document templates associated with each content type. This is all by design,
In other words, there's no way to edit the '+ New' menu. You cannot reorder items, nor can you remove items. If you want to modify the '+ New' menu you must have two or more content types associated with the library.
If you don't use custom content types then there is no way to edit the menu. In tht case it will show the 4 default document types available in Office Online. If you do use custom content types then the menu will reflect the list of content type templates in the order that you specify in the content type list in the library. You can specify the order of the content types when you add them to the library. You can also hide content types from being displayed on the New button.
- Didn't I say the same thing, phrased as a question? I just got a little more detailed and said I would create content types in the content type hub with default templates.
