Is there an option to have students sorted by First Name in Speed Grader? It would make a big difference to my efficiency in marking some of their work.
It looks like that's not an option, @MitchDerbyshire. I did a test where I split the first and last names into two columns and discovered students can be sorted by first name on the Grades page, but there is not an option to do so within the SpeedGrader.
That's a bummer but might be changed via a submission to the Canvas Ideas process. Creating an idea does not provide an immediate solution to the problem you described, though it is a solution.

If you decide to create an idea, please link it here so mode community members can support it.

However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
