glossary list in Rise
I use the interactive "accordion" block to create a glossary list for Rise courses. I need the items to be alphabetized, but if I don't know all the terms beforehand, it is a pain to add new items later. (You can only append new items to the end of an accordion block, so to add a new item, you must edit and rebuild the entire list. This is especially painful when adding an item at the beginning of a glossary list [for example, a term beginning with the letter "a"].)
The ability to add an item anywhere in an accordion block would be a great help. Otherwise, can anyone suggest another way to provide a glossary list of terms in Rise?

Yes, dragging a new item from the bottom of the list to where it needs to be alphabetically is not fun.

Hi.
Thanks for responding. I didn't realize you could rearrange items by dragging. Not perfect, but this helps.
Thanks again.Michael Fekete

Glad to see Alyssa and Karl have been helping you!
I just wanted to pop in and share that part of your e-mail signature came through when you replied via e-mail. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response.
- Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.
Hi there, Michael! I came across an example where fellow community member, Gerry McAteer, creatively used a quote carousel block to create a glossary. Check it out here!
You can read more about it in Gerry's discussion post: A glossary to use in Rise
I hope that sparks some ideas for you!
