Search through Gradebook by assignment name?

[heather_edwards]

Is there any way to search through the gradebook, when you're in the all-student view, for an assignment by name? I have so many assignments and they are in a crazy order and I have to scroll sideways for ages to find a specific assignment... can I do this?

Also, is there any way to re-order the assignments as they appear in the gradebook?

 @heather_edwards ,

I have had success using the Find feature that is built into the browser when trying to find a specific assignment column in the grade book.  It doesn't jump you to the assignment, but it does highlight it so that when I scroll it is easily identifiable. 

As for re-ordering the grade book, yes this can be done:

@heather_edwards, great news! We have implemented a true assignment search option in the gradebook. This new feature is in beta now and will be available in production with our October release. You can read more about it here.
