Hello Salomé Frisby. Are you looking to organize student by alphabetical order in the grade book or People's tab? I am not sure it is possible to reorganize student names in the People's tab, but in there grade book it is possible to have students appear as "Robert Smith" or "Smith, Robert" for example.
In the new grade book this can be done using the menu icon (3-dots) next to the Student Name column (see below).
In the classic grade book, this can be accomplished using this feature under "settings" and "feature options"
The ability to use this feature option depends on how Canvas is set up by your administrators. You may not see this feature or you could see the option to toggle it on/off. This is how we have Canvas configured so that instructors can determine how the student names appear in the Grades tab.
