Need ability to move answer options up and down

[rebeccalk]

Currently there’s no way to re-order the answer options.
So if I have, for “What are your favorite colors?”
red (including maroon and pink)
blue (from navy to sky blue)
orange (various tones)
other

[longer answers used to point out that I would have needed to customize the answer option name (gray box) to the simple “red” “blue” etc.]

Then I decide that orange should come first and I want to add yellow between red and blue.
There is no way to do either of those things in the UI - move an answer up/down the list and insert a new answer between 2 other answers. You have to download and make the adjust in the Excel form.

If I do it in the UI now, it’s a manual process - I have to overwrite both the answer (label) and the question name (gray box).

Thus adding this ability to the UI will make life easier for users.

Hi @rebeccalk,

Just like you change the order of questions, you can change the order of answers by dragging them.

In this help article it shows you how to change the order of questions:

Especially in this gif:

Just like you see in here, if you bring your mouse cursor near to the border of the answer, the mouse cursor will change, and you can drag your answers to change their order.

Let me know if you need any help, I can try to create a screen video recording.

EDIT: Here is the screen recording of changing the order of answers:

Dang! Why didn’t I ever try dragging answer options!
Cool, thanks!!

I will share this with others!
