Listing of Assignments in Teacher View

There needs to be a way to change how assignments are listed in the teacher view. They show up in reverse order from when they are due, so the assignments that are due sooner are at the end of the list, and those due later are listed first. That is totally backwards and opposite of how most teachers organize, as we would like to see what's coming due sooner listed first and later listed after.
In some windows, I know I can change the to see what's been due in the past, which doesn't help. And I know that I can change it to a specific due dates, which works, but is extra work: If I pick a specific enough window (one day), I'll get what's due that day only, and if that window is widened, then they're still listed backwards. However, in other windows, I cannot change the listing at all. Arghhh!
The way they are listed is totally counter-intuitive to how most people would think these items should be listed. I hope it's not done that way in the student view, as that could be quite confusing to the students. And if it's not presented backwards to the students, why is it for us?

Hello Jim McHugh,

I understand your frustration but I can assure you that the order of the assignments depends upon when you assign them. For example, if you assign an exercise that you put as due March 15 but then assign another exercise that you say is due March 12, you would expect to see the March 12th assignment posted up top first rather than the March 15 since it is due later but the way that Khan Academy works is that depending on what you assign first determines the order in which the assignments will be ordered especially since you assigned older work first rather than newer work which also leaves newer work at the end of the list.

And depending on when the students complete the assignment determines the order for their side. For example, if a student completed an assignment that was due a day later then once they complete it that assignment will be at the top of the list as most recent completed even if the assignment was posted days before since the student completed the assignment recently it will still show up at the top.

Hope this helps and if you have any additional questions feel free to ask.
