Ordering tests in the list

QUESTION
I have created a lot of different tests so students can use the
website for basic facts practice. I noticed that if I create a new
test it simply appears at the top of the list. Is there a way to
change the order of the tests in the list?

ANSWER
 You can sort the tests by clicking on the column name (test name,
assigned date, test type, etc).
 You can also change the order of appearance by changing the
"Assigned" date of the test, since this is the default sorting order.
Tests which are most recently assigned appear at the top of the list.
To change the assigned date click on the test name in the list, which
brings up many options for editing the test.  However, be advised that
if you choose an assigned date in the future, the test will not appear
on a student's list on the class home page until the date arrives.
