When copying course content to a new course year/semester, is there a way to do it without it publishing everything? I find it laborious and irritating that you have to go through and click "unpublish" for every item when a course is copied.

We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
