[ARCHIVED] Reordering Outcomes

[gdk5028]

Is there a way to reorder outcomes so that they are not in alphabetical order? For my set up, it would be extremely helpful for me to reorder my outcomes so that they are listed in the order which they are covered in class.

For example, having outcomes listed in the following order

• Prerequisite 1
• Prerequisite 2
• Limits 1
• Limits 2
• Derivatives 1
• Derivatives 2
• Derivatives 3

is much easier to work with than

• Curve Sketching 1
• Curve Sketching 2
• Derivatives 1
• Derivatives 2
• Differential Equations 1
• Integration 1
• Integration 2

I have tried to reorder my outcomes, but there is no way to save them.  I find this very frustrating when I'm looking for a particular item.   I hope this will be a feature Canvas would consider adding in the future.

Would it work to number the Outcomes? 

For example:

1  Prerequisite A

2  Prerequisite B 

If the number sorting would help create the custom order, that may be a workaround.

This solution doesn't work. The outcomes are still ordered alphabetically ignoring the numbers.

Same issue here. 

Outcomes are numbered, but default to odd order.

Does anyone know WHY, or HOW to change it?

A year later and still the issue remains.  When opening the Learning Mastery Gradebook, this is what I see:

It is not alphabetical.

It is not numeric.

It is not in the order that the outcomes appear in that section of the main (left side) navigation.

And if I rearrange it, upon refreshing, all changes to order are lost.

Solutions?
