By default, SpeedGrader sorts students alphabetically. Instructors can change the settings to sort by submission date or submission status (needs grading, not submitted, etc.) instead.
- In SpeedGrader, select the Settings (gear) icon.
- Select Options.
- Click by student last name (alphabetically) and choose a new sort option.
- Select Save Settings.
