How to alphabetize choices

Occasionally it is helpful to alphabetize choices to help the respondent view them here are two ways to accomplish that

To illustrate how to alphabetize we will use a variable but this technique applies to all lists of choices expect for rows and columns in Matrices.

Option #1 Alphabetize Manually

Shown in the gif above the choices in a variable can be moved by clicking and dragging. Move the cursor to the letter on the left of the choice and the cursor will change to an arrow cross. Click and drag the choice into the correct alphabetic position. Repeat for all the choices until complete.

Note: Remember to leave write-in choices (Other) and exclusive choices (None of the above) on the bottom of lists


Option #2 Logic coding

Option two is to ask the Survey Directors to assist. They can use code on the backend to alphabetize lists of choices. Note the list will still appear to be out of order but the code will do the sorting when taking the survey.
