Gradebook Sorting

[JonathanRiddle]

Did the latest version of canvas remove the ability to sort my grade book? I can no longer sort by module which has been a crucial timesaver in my workflow for years? Was this put somewhere else or is that feature just gone now?

Hi @JonathanRiddle ,

I think all the sorting options have been replaced by Apply Filters.

They haven't been replaced, the filters have always been there, but now there is no longer a sort feature. The filters are not useful in this context, I need the ability to sort the order of assignments.

Hi @JonathanRiddle,

The sort options are still available, they have just moved under the settings gear now.  The How do I arrange columns in the Gradebook? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com) guide will show you how to get there.

Hope this helps!

Hope this helps a bit!
