Ordering grade book by students' FIRST name

Question

Hello, is there a way to sort/order our gradebook by students' FIRST name. Currently, we do so only by last name. Since we are an international college, however, students from certain countries have no last name; So fields are left blank, or contain N/A, etc. It would make things way easier if we could sort by first name. Thanks

Hello,

If the "Allow gradebook users to view and export student first and last names in separate columns" setting is turned on for your institution, then you can split the names and and sort student names by first name. Here is an article that explains how to do this.

I hope this helps,
