How do I sort the student list in SpeedGrader?
By default, the SpeedGrader student list arranges student names alphabetically by last name. For easier grading, you can sort the student list by student name (alphabetically), submission date, or by submission status. You can also view the students in random order and view the students within a submission status in random order.
