Lecturers and external examiners can sort Turnitin submissions by the following headings:
  • First Name / Last Name (each independently, that is by First Name or by Last Name)
  • Submission Title
  • Turnitin Paper ID
  • Submitted
  • Similarity
  • Grade
In order to do so, click on the Up or Down arrow next to the heading you wish to sort by.

For example, if you wish to sort the list in alphabetical order based on the student's Last Name, click on the Up arrow to list from A-Z and the Down arrow to list from Z-A.
