When choosing the share columns feature, it would be really useful to be able to choose the precise location as to where the shared columns to appear in the destination gradebooks (Just like when you can choose precise position when you choose to copy columns). Each time I am sharing columns from master gradebooks, I am having to go into each gradebook and re-adjust the positions of the shared columns.
We are currently working on offering functionality in Curriculum Manager where you can create Gradebooks via master templates associated to sets. Columns can be allocated in any order.
