Hi there,
how can I show the question text in different sequence?

for example the question is:
Thinking about public expenditure on UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, DEFENSE, OLD-AGE PENSIONS, and WELFARE BENEFITS, which one you think should be more than now?

some people will see the other sequence, like
Thinking about public expenditure on OLD-AGE PENSIONS, UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, WELFARE BENEFITS and OLD-AGE PENSIONS, which one you think should be more than now?

Thinking about public expenditure on OLD-AGE PENSIONS, WELFARE BENEFITS, OLD-AGE PENSIONS and UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, which one you think should be more than now?


is that we can do this question text type on the limesurvey?


many thanks.

You can use Expression Manager to load a hidden equation question with a random number between 1 and 3. Then you can use nested IF statements to display one of those 3 text strings.

Code:
{if(random == 1, 'Text string 1.', if(random == 2, 'Text string 2.', 'Text string 3.'))}

Attached file 2 is when I setting the question, I have no idea where the nested IF statements should be display.
Code:
{if(random == 1, 'Text string 1.', if(random == 2, 'Text string 2.', 'Text string 3.'))}

I have no idea where the nested IF statements should be display.

It's simply placed in the question text.

many thanks.

IF I have more than 3 Text string need to show in different sequence, how the nested IF statements should be present?

Code:
{if(random == 1, 'Text string 1.', if(random == 2, 'Text string 2.', 'Text string 3.', 'Text string 4.', 'Text string 5.'))}

or
Code:
{if(random == 1, 'Text string 1.', if(random == 2, 'Text string 2.', if(random == 3, 'Text string 3.', 'Text string 4.', 'Text string 5.'))}

BECAUSE I need more than 6 Text string to show in different sequence, but when I try 5, it seems to some problem.

The IF statements work like this:

Code:
{if(condition, 'Returned result if true', 'Returned result if false')}

If nesting (multiple IF statements) is necessary, replace 'Returned result if false' with another complete IF statement like this (line-breaks inserted for clarity):

Code:
{if(condition1, 'Returned if true', 
  if(condition2, 'Returned if true', 
    if(condition3, 'Returned if true', 
      if(condition4, 'Returned if true', 
        if(condition5, 'Returned if true', 'Returned if all conditions false'
))))}

So, in your example, it would be like this (line-breaks inserted for clarity):

Code:
{if(random == 1, 'Text string 1.', 
  if(random == 2, 'Text string 2.', 
    if(random == 3, 'Text string 3.', 
      if(random == 4, 'Text string 4.', 
        'Text string 5.'
))))}
