Hello everyone, I am working on a form in Kobo, in the form, we have Annex 2, which is being worked on with a matrix table of responses, however, when introducing the response options it has been difficult to maintain the order of the responses. options both in the rows and in the columns (Attached capture).
For example, we have these two columns with questions 7 and 8, as can be seen the order of the foods and reasons is not correct. The same goes for the “other” row that should be in the last row of the matrix.

Hello @jtafur , welcome to the community!
Can you try to download your survey project as XLSForm and then upload them again? It might solve the issue.
Unfortunately this is a bug the team is aware of:

## Description

If a `matrix` question is created in the form-builder with several rows and some `select_*` type questions in the column then the order of those rows and the choices is rearranged when the builder is reopened. The bug appears to be isolated to the form-builder as the asset's content remains correct.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a survey with a `matrix` type question in the form-builder
2. Create some rows and a column with a `select_*` type question that has 6 or more choices (I only seemed to get this behaviour with more than 5)
3. Save and exit the form-builder
4. Re-enter form-builder

## Expected behavior
Matrix question rows and choices remain in the original order.
## Actual behavior
Matrix question rows and choices are shuffled.
