Syllabus > Students can reorder syllabus items - incorrect behavior?

Description

The Syllabus tool allows instructors to create multiple syllabus items.

Apparently, students now have the ability to reorder these syllabus items, but any changes made by the student don't stick (for them).

Either: 

  1. The option for students to reorder syllabus items is incorrect, OR

  2. The fact that student updates to the reorder don't persist (in their own view) is incorrect. (Note: Students should never have the ability to update the order for all users).

If the student is supposed to be able to reorder the items in their own view, then the view should persist for the student.

If the student is *NOT* supposed to be able to reorder items, then the items should not be draggable and there should be no text in the UI suggesting the student can reorder them.

Hi all, will this fix be merged with 21.x and 20.x?

Sections stay where the instructor placed them.

 Yeah that's super bad, I'll fix it.

Edited

with the fix implemented, the following text still appears in the student view on nightly experimental:

To reorder, drag and drop list items or use the keyboard to focus on the item then use U or D keys. Changes will take effect automatically.

This text needs to be removed from student view, since they cannot reorder items. The same text needs to stay in the instructor view.
