How do I sort and display student names in the Student Name column in the gradebook?

The Student Name column displays the students in your course. You can view options to sort names and display names by either first or last name. You can also choose to view concluded and inactive enrollments.

Additionally, the Secondary Info menu allows secondary information to display below the student’s name. Options include the student’s section, SIS, ID, Login ID, or no display. Only one secondary information option can be displayed at one time.
