When students view their assignment they have two choices "show by date" or "show by type". When students click show by type the assignments do not appear with the most recent date at the top. This how to guide has the assignments configured wit the most recent at the top. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-filter-assignments-by-type-as-a-student/ta-p/272
Where is the setting or process to get assignments to show for students with the most recent assignments at the top?
Thank you for any assistance,

Hi @lfritz,
When the "view by type" option is chosen, the assignments would appear in whatever order the teacher has them on their assignment page. On the guide you linked, you'll see under the Assignments category that things there are not ordered by date, so this is intended functionality to give teachers more freedom to pick the order they think things should appear in (and some things may not have a date at all).
To see all dated assignments in order, students would need to use the "show by date" option and then not see the assignment category names.
I hope this explanation helps a bit.

It would be great to see the averages or any statistical information on the total columns in Canvas. As it is, we can only see averages after opening up the speed graded for individual assignments. Or that is all that I have found so far. I know we can download a CSV file but those are not interactive and kept up to date…

Is there a way for me to create a rubric that shows BOTH points and a letter grade, while the Gradebook in both my view and student view shows JUST points? I tried setting up the rubric showing a letter grade in the grading scheme, and a letter shows in the Assessment box…but then my gradebook also shows the letter grade,…
