Why did the Sort by Sections get moved into a Filter? SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO USE! IT used to be its own dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the Grade window. Now more clicks have been added, and it just takes more time! Why? Why?

Add the "equation editor" for the quiz type of question "Numeric".  It is extremely limiting not to be able to insert a fraction as an answer. Only integers and decimals are accepted. No fraction bars or slashes.
