[ARCHIVED] Announcments/ability to change order of listing

[muffp]

Is it possible to organize announcements to show most recent announcement first?  Using student view- I am worried students won't see announcement if it is not directly on their home screen.  I'm not sure how to make sure the most recent date shows without deleting previous announcements,

Please advise- Thanks!

Hope all is well. Thank you for sharing your question with us. It's a common question. They are usually in order by how they were created, unless you "delay posted" some of them. 

How do I delay posting an announcement until a specific date in a course? 

In this discussion, Kona suggested importing from a "sandbox course":

If you do want to show announcements on your Canvas front/home page, you can choose to do so.
