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.

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 tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello Everybody!!! I'm new here! :) How do you create a meeting with your class group in Canvas? When I attempt to compose a message, I select the course and then choose “Student Group,” but the only option that appears is a “Back” button with an arrow. No student names or group members appear for me to contact.
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
