Sort MST Board & Flex SMS Board & Classes page headers by the flex period # instead of flex period time
Can we add an option to sort the display of the MST board & Flex SMS Board and Classes page by the flex period # instead of the flex period time? My sites are used to seeing the display by period#, and the display by time confuses them, especially when they have paired the periods i.e. 1 & 4, 2 & 5, 3 & 6 have the same start and end times, and 1,2,3 are on A-Day and 4,5,6 are on B-Day.

From AeriesCon Fall 2025. Customer at Flex school using A/B Schedule. Specific case would be to have periods display in order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 but they instead order 1, 5, 2, 6, 3, 7, 4, 8 because of the Start Times. Both Classes and MST Board pages. My proposed solution would be a configuration page that allowed a custom sort, so that periods could be set to display in whatever order they wanted.

Also, the Start/End Times displayed are the default Start/End Times from the Flex Periods, they do not reflect the correct Bell schedule for the specific day. As a result, some students missed some classes at the beginning of school. Can the Start/End Times in a students' schedules reflect the bell schedule for the specific day in Parent/Student portal, please?

This is also an issue in our district especially since I created the Flex Periods in a non-sequential order so Period 2 is at the end of the list of Periods on a student's schedule which makes it very confusing.

This option is critical. Without it students see their periods out of order and get confused. See attachment.
