The assignments in my Canvas courses do not seem to be in any particular order. Is there a way to arrange them in alphabetical order in a mass fashion other than dragging them one by one?
Hi @jamin_hoffman - It is worth noting that students have a date-based sort and a type-based sort in the Assignments list. The date-based sort uses due dates and is the default view. The type-based sort matches the manual order & assignment groups created by teachers.
@jamin_hoffman -
As far as I know there is not a way to do what you want. This option has been added to the ideas and themes section, so it may be developed.
There are other posts in the forum with the same question and the same results. My only advice to make everything a little easier would be to use assignment groups You then would sort the individual groups(if necessary - depends on how many assignments are in each group). Plus with Assignment groups, you can change the order in which the assignments appear in the grade book.
Here is the post where the idea has been added to the themes area.

I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
