Question Randomization

Hello Support,

I am working on a script, and I have a set of questions that I want to randomize. So, the question type will not appear to the respondents in the same way. What is the best possible way to achieve this?

Take a look at this article; it describes a technique to effectively randomize the presented order of an arbitrary number of questions: Randomizing the order of questions - Showcase - ODK Forum

BTW, if you have fewer questions, eg only 2 or 3, or it doesn’t need to be truly random (eg perhaps not all possible permutations are displayable…) then there are somewhat simpler approaches. But the above will handle the general case.
