[ARCHIVED] Can the list of courses on the Courses page be organized?

[bimbip]

I searched for an existing question/idea on this, but they all seem to relate back to the Dashboard view.

Is there, or can there be, a way to organize courses within the Courses view?

For instance, by providing an option for filtering--which is one approach, or by enabling users to group/sort  in the manner that best suits their needs, much like documents in Files.

Thank you,

Hello Pamela,

The reason you don't see any information about is that there aren't really any options for reorganizing courses in the course list.   Well, you can give the courses nicknames, but that only works on the initial courses screen which is listing the same courses as are on the Dashboard.  On that screen, courses are sorted by nickname (or name, if no nickname is assigned).  

On the View All courses, list, they are listed alphabetically for published active, unpublished active, then past enrollments.

A colleague did find an idea on this topic, FYI: Make the Course list sortable

Our institution, new to Canvas, also has this question, especially for IDs enrolled in a lot of courses each term.
