For attendance, checklists, and other instructor functions for which I need regular access to a class roster, for four courses per-semester, usually 230-250 students, it is most efficient for me to have easy access to a roster that is sorted as alpha-last-name-first. While it is a start toward a solution, the Canvas default provides a listing People in the alpha order of their last name [but the list is actually displaying first-name-(and any middle)-names-first]. But, that is not efficient enough for my many uses. I appreciate knowing of the easy solution to this rather simple function for a default set-up of Canvas courses that default the list of "People" as alpha-last-name-first. See examples below. Thanks for any assistance!
What Canvas (currently) provides (fictitious names, for illustration only):
1. John Thomas Abbot
2. Sarah Marie Susan Ames
3. Janiqua Barrett
4. Jo-Jo Chase
5. Marcus Jones
What I need:
1. Abbot, John Thomas
2. Ames, Sarah Mari Susan
3. Barrett, Janiqua
4. Chase, Jo-Jo
5. Jones, Marcus
