Hello @SaroltaCump 

Thanks for posting this in the Canvas Community. 

For the Roll Call attendance, It will organize the students in alphabetical order of their last name. I played around with this in my sandbox and I was able to see that there is not an option to have it organize the students by their first name. I do see how this would be a beneficial filter that could be applied when using that tool. Are you able to submit this as an Idea for the roll call attendance tool? 

It would be great to be able to select how the tool sorts the list of students in List view, much like you can do in the gradebook on the student column.
