A Rank Order Sort question asks the participant to rank a series of items.
Participants rank the items either by dragging them into a particular
rank position or by double-clicking them, which causes them to move to the next
available rank position.
Each rank item can contain text or text with images.
For more information about adding images, see Images: Best practices.
Note: To ensure the accuracy of your data, participants must rank either
all items or the specified
Number of ranks. If you clear the
Question completion required check box in the
Properties section will have no effect. For more
information, see
Rank Order Sort question properties.
Limitations
Limitations for this question type:
- The maximum page height is
2880 pixels.
If the page height is greater than this, the items are cut off.
- The maximum number of
items in a Rank Order Sort question is 20.
Note: For mobile surveys, limit the number of items in a Rank Order Sort question. A Rank Order Sort question with many rankable items is difficult to complete because mobile participants cannot see all the items on a single screen, and therefore cannot rank them without scrolling back and forth. Limit the number of items in a Rank Order Sort question to five items or fewer.
Note: Ensure that you preview your survey to check how participants will
see each question.
