Randomizing Lists or Questions within Groups

There are two different features, neither of which are currently supported in a native way.

You may be interested in the form described here for a possible approach to randomizing choice order using a choice filter. Be sure to read follow-up comments and update the form syntax accordingly if you want to try it.

This thread describes a similar approach for randomizing question order within a group. Here is a form implementing this.

Randomizing of both choice lists and questions are likely good features to support at the form-level in a more native way.

For people who would like these features, it would be helpful to know:

  • what is your use case? The more detail you can provide, the more likely it is the features will match your needs!
  • how you would expect to specify that options or questions should be randomized when building a form?
  • would you expect to know the order the options were presented in? If so, in what format would you like that information?

The most promising progress in this direction is @martijnr's proposal of a randomize() function to add to the form specification. This proposal was preceded by this conversation.
