Randomizing a subset of choices

Hi,
I am a research staff at the University of Notre Dame, and I would like to ask a question regarding randomizing “a subset of choices.”

I have one question which has 4 choices (say, A B C D), but I only want to randomize the order of the first two choices (A and B only). 3rd and 4th choices (C and D) are non-randomized. Thus the answer choices will appear in order of either “A B C D” or “B A C D”.

It seems “randomize()” function can randomize the order of ALL choices, but I could not find if I can randomize the order of a subset of questions.

Is there a way to do this?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

As far as know, you can only do this manually. There are two options:

  1. To work with a choice_filter, based on a randomised value for the filter (and probably allowing duplicate choice names)
  2. To work with a relevant clause, based on a randomised value, and two manually ordered choice lists.
