[Courses] Make the course list sortable

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas LMS

When you click on Courses and then All Course, Canvas lists them in some random order. As my number of courses builds up over the semesters, with many courses of the same name, I would like to be able to SORT my list of courses by Name, Semester, Recently used, etc.

So... please let us sort these courses so that we can easily find what we are looking for!

YES, it will. This is an excellent idea and I am only commenting to get numbers up on traffic for this thread.

At the University of Oklahoma, we have numerous instructors that teach 4-5 sections of the same course each semester; after teaching for a number of years, the All Courses page becomes very unwieldy. Having the ability to sort/filter the course list by semester/section/name/etc. would be wonderful and is much needed.

PLEASE! Come on our side. Even in Microsoft WORD or EXCEL files & charts can be sorted by any column of choice. This system (if of any true quality) should certainly be able to do the same!

It really isn’t rocket science.

This feature needs to be added for teachers and admins!

The only way to get traction on this seems to be to like every comment, reply to every comment, and get your colleagues to log in and like and comment as well.

This is a feature we need! Try explaining why this shouldn't be possible....you just can't!!

This is an important feature that ELMS needs. Like every comment in this thread and reply to all of them as well. Get your colleagues to like and reply too.

This is a feature we need. It looks like a lot of other people are thinking the same thing.
