Does anybody know whether the ability exists to randomize the order of CHOICES to a question (e.g. SELECT ONE, SELECT MULTIPLE, etc.)?
For example, if I had a LIST named beverage_list that consisted of five NAMES Wine, Beer, Gatorade, Soda, and Water and used the LIST to answer the question, "What is you favorite beverage?", can the app randomize the order in which the NAMES appear on the screen of the mobile device? Would hate for Water to get fewer responses just b/c it always appears last.
Similarly, within a GROUP using as FIELD-LIST as the appearance of the BEGIN_GROUP row, using LABEL as the appearance of the first question, and using LIST-NOLABEL for the remaining questions, is it possible to randomize the order in the which the questions appear on the screen? They're all using the same LIST so randomizing their appearance would be ideal.
Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated!

Attached is a sample form from the SurveyCTO library. I don't think that
straight ODK supports random-once() yet, so you'd have to use random()
instead (and take care that new random numbers can be drawn when you edit
and save).
