Hi @sue_simeson,

If you want to put your discussions in a specific order on the Discussions index page, that's what the Pinned Discussion area would be for.  You can drag your discussions up to that area and put the in the order you want them to appear for all course users.  In the Regular Discussions area (the middle section), the discussions will be automatically be reordered according to which one has the latest post/reply.  The  How do I use the Discussions Index Page? - Instructure Community - 886  guide covers this information in more detail if you're interested.

Hope this helps!

Good morning, @sue_simeson ...

In addition to what @chriscas shared, I wanted to also provide you with a link to this Guide...which also gives detail on pinned discussions.  Also, take a look at the second paragraph in the light blue box at the top of this Guide ... as it discussed moving discussion topics.

How do I pin a discussion in a course?

Hope this helps as well!

I have noticed this in modules also - rearranging tasks. When I go to Settings and Update Course Details then it sticks. That would be annoying for every little thing. But that's what I'm experiencing...
