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.

Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
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.
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
