Note: Reordering Gradebook columns will only affect your view of the Gradebook. Students have several options for ordering their Grades, so their view may be different from yours.
By default, Gradebook columns are in the same order as they appear in Assignments. Whatever order the Groups (and the items in the Groups) appear in Assignments is the order of the columns in the Gradebook.
Therefore, you change the order of the Gradebook columns from Assignments on the course navigation menu. From there you can reorder the items within a Group by dragging and dropping them into the desired order. Likewise, you can reorder entire Groups in the same way.
If you want another option besides the default order, other view options are available from within the Gradebook. After clicking on Grades on the course navigation menu, click on the gear icon in the upper right hand corner, then click the View Options tab.
This will display the Arrange by options. In addition to the default order from Assignments, there are option to arrange the columns by name, due date, point values, and modules. Once you choose your Arrange by option, click on Save Settings to save the choice.
