Separate First Name and Last Name into two searchable fields
AC had a problem in not being able to display or search for students by Surname or last name. This fault has been brought across to Netspace. We are a very large Academy with over 500 active students at one time. Importing grades from Gradebook to csv format is pratically useless, as you cannot do a sort into Surnames, and have to manually tease out the First Name Last name info
While you can’t search by 2 separate fields, there are options to sort gradebook by last name, first name. See the document to view and sort your Gradebook via sortable name (last name, first name), You can enable the Sortable Name Feature Option in Course Settings.

Inside the grade book or class roster, the Name field should be separated into First Name and Last Name so that sorting alphabetically is possible. This would facilitate importing and exporting between Netacad and on premise SIS applications.
