Reorder Assignments in the Gradebook

Each assignment has a column in the gradebook but sometimes they get out of order if you add a new one or delete one you no longer want to use.  The problem is:  How do you reorder those assignments?
Reordering assignment columns is a bit obscure but not difficult.  Here's how!

Go to the Manage tab Choose Categories
Select the category of assignments that is out of order - this will insert a green check mark in the box in front of the category - in this case, the Homework category is the one that is out of order Once you have selected the category, click the Show Tasks button
Look below the buttons and now there should be a list like this one Choose Reorder Assignments
Notice in the left figure, Drop Box 4 is out of order Select Drop Box 4 (it will highlight blue) Then click the Up or Down button - in this case click the Down button as many times as necessary to move Drop Box 4 to the bottom of the list The figure on the right displays the result after moving Drop Box 4 to the bottom of the list Click the SAVE button (or you will have to do this all over again!)
Now, when you look at the list of assignments, Drop Box 4 is in the correct order! Easy-peasy! (but obscure)
