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. I’m going to mark it as such and hope that our colleagues who have a similar challenge will find the best way to contribute. If you decide to create an idea, please link it here so mode community members can support it.

Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
