Naming and sorting "bulk download" assignment files

Please revert to non-nested named student files (not folders) for bulk download in assignments.

The system protocol for "bulk download" in assignments has changed for the worse. It now nests each student's work into a folder with their name on it instead of naming each student file sequentially and lumping the assignment files into one folder.

Reverting to the old system or even adapting it to inherit the assignment name as the container folder for the student content and renaming those files sequentially per student would be amazing. Searching for students' [lastnameFirstname] would pull all student files downloaded from the LMS.

Automating this workflow would save teachers so much time sorting/finding student work! Please revert to non-nested named student files (not folders) for bulk download in assignments.
