For instructors, it’s important to see and understand how students are engaging with the course content as well as how they’re performing on assignments, projects and quizzes.

I cannot figure out how they are ordered. (They are not alphabetical). They do not have due dates. When I reorder them, I get them set up how I want. When I return to the page all my changes are lost. I feel like this must be obvious, and I am missing it.
