Sorting on student and assignment lists

[NuttKatyISD]

Is it possible to sort on the last name of the student? It appears that it's sorting on their first name which doesn't match most gradebooks which makes it a little more confusing to transcribe grades.

Also, is it possible to add the first and last names to the grade download CSV?

Does each entry in your roster contain a first name and a last name?

[NuttKatyISD]

Yes, both fields are filled in in roster.csv and it's displaying First and Last, which is fine. But it's also sorted on first which isn't ideal, at least for me.

Another quick question about importing. Will it catch itself if I accidentally try to import the same student twice?

[rongxin-liu]

So re-importing the same student won't create a duplicate; they're deduped by GitHub username (the web app skips them and shows a "duplicate" count in the import summary).

We just shipped an update for the app to include first/last names in the exported CSV file as well as adding the options to sort by first/last names.

That's amazing, thanks so much.

Would it be possible to add the same sort option to the assignment submission page, and filter by section? Section may already be there, my only course that's submitted anything doesn't have sections so I might just be missing it.

We're working on getting this done.

The feature is now shipped.
