Rubric reordering the performance levels

[meehane]

I am trying to create an rubric without points and naming the performance levels Mastery, proficient, developing, beginning and insufficient evidence.

After I save the rubric, it automatically places the performance levels into alphabetical order rather than in the order I created.  Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Same! We're MacGyvering this using a points based rating scale and want a rating for "Not attempted - 0 marks" versus "Unsatisfactory - 0 marks". We changed not-attempted to 'zNot attempted' to fix sorting! 

We're then using @Code-with-Ski 's phenomenal extension to download the assignments with the rubric date to enable us to check that markers have assigned a rating against all criteria; if it's blank then it's been missed by the marker. Basically we scroll down the final column of the assignment export and if a student doesn't have all the criteria populated (ie the row is shorter than the others) then a marker has missed selecting one of the rubric ratings. It's a critical check for us. 

It's not an elegant process, but necessary to ensure all criterion have been rated. Would be great to be able to do each of these have natively. Especially checking for completeness across assignments and quizzes and being able to export assessments with rubric data.
