It is possible to change the order of graded items. This is particularly helpful to organise the gradebook on courses where there are multiple formative activities which need a grade or feedback, but only a few summative assessments. Re-ordering the items can be an effective way to highlight the summative grades for staff and students by placing these at the top of all other graded items.

Note that the order created in the list view will apply to all other views of the gradebook.
