I use groups of 2-3 students often in classes. I use notes in the grade book to keep track of what group students are assigned. I would like to be order my students in the gradebook by there group number/name. Thanks
I don't have a solution to ordering the "Notes" column in Canvas specifically (I'm not sure that's possible currently), but it does sound like potentially filtering your Gradebook based on student groups would help for what you want to see. If you made groups in the class and then assigned the students to those, you can use the Gradebook's "Apply Filters" button to select the "Student Groups" option and choose particular groups to review. You wouldn't see all your groups at the same time, but you could see the data for a partulcar group and then switch to the next one when you are ready.
If for some reason they shouldn't have access to those groups online or there's another reason you don't want the groups set up in the Canvas class, then maybe a different workaround would be to export your gradebook, open that CSV file in Excel, and then sort the workbook based on that column. The Notes column should be included in that export (at least according to this "How do I use the Notes column in the Gradebook?" article). In the test I just did for my sample class, it had the Notes column as column F - I presume it would be fairly consistent if you tried it on your end, but you may want to check since I don't know 100% if that is the case. Once I knew what column had the Notes information, I just selected the range of data I wanted sorted, clicked the "Sort and Filter" and "Custom Sort" options, and then specified that I wanted the data sorted based on that particular column. That seemed to work pretty well.
I know that neither suggestion perfectly matches your request, but I hope it helps you find what you need in the meantime.
When in Speed Grader, under the "Grade by question" option, the Next Student and Previous Student buttons no longer work.
I found an inherited Developer Key in my Canvas instance titled "Athena - 2026-04-30 22:22:18 UTC." Mine is currently off. I haven't been able to find a release note or Community announcement for it. Are you seeing this key in your instance, and what state is it in? Does anyone know the intended default state, or where…
Hi everyone, I’m working through a Sherpath/Evolve LTI 1.3 setup in Canvas and would appreciate some guidance from others who have configured grade passback. Sherpath’s guidance is that the point values need to be adjusted in the Sherpath link opened through the LTI so that the grades pass back to Canvas with the intended…
The fact that the teacher's gradebook view only displays the letter grade in the "override" column makes it difficult for the teacher to review grades, as the numerical grade entered cannot be determined in that view.
Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
