Set Assignment Type as Default

Question

In student view, the Assignments come in as "Show by Date" instead of "Show by Type" by default. The student can choose to switch it over. Can we make it an option in settings for the Instructor to change which one is default. I find it better to sort my assignments by type "quizzes" "practice quizzes" etc. and sort them in an order of importance or unit.

I'm not sure if you've visited the Community site before, but in years past, this was known as submitting a Feature Idea. Now, it is known as the
