Reorder the sub-questions of a multi-select question was created by raminnaimi

Hello,
I have a question of a multi-select type (specifically using bootstrap buttons). Is there a way for me to change the order they are displayed?

For example, I have QID1 that asks:
What do you like first?
- Car
- Airplane

and later I have QID 2
Which type do you want?
- Honda
- Tesla
- Boeing
- Airbus

I want QID 2 subquestions to be
- Honda, Tesla, Boeing, Airbus if for QID 1 they selected car,
and
- Boeing, Airbus, Honda, Tesla if for QID 1 they selected Airplane.

Can I change the order of a subquestion dynamically (via expression manager or javascript)? The HTML dom for the multi-select bootstrap question is complex and hard to manipulate.

I'm using LimeSurvey v 4.1

Thanks

So you do not want to change the order but only display the relevant brands.

You have to use subquestion relevance

Boeing is only displayed if QID1=="your code for airplane"
Tesla is only displayed if QID1=="your code for car"
This you enter in "condition" of your subquestions

Hi
No, I don’t want to hide anything. The order of the sub questions need to change.

Okay,
two options.

1. Use two questions (of course with the same subquestion codes)
a: Honda, Tesla, Boeing, Airbus
b: Boeing, Airbus, Honda, Tesla

2. Use micro-tayloring (maybe a bit more difficult in analyzing stage)
QID2_SQ001: {if(QUID1==1,"Honda","Boeing"}
QID2_SQ002: {if(QUID1==1,"Tesla","Airbus"}
QID2_SQ003: {if(QUID1==1,"Boeing","Honda"}
...

Can you provide a small sample survey (.lss file) containing only those questions?

I was sure you would create a javascript solution.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was looking for a more scalable solution, and one with javascript. I will have more sub-questions so permutation of all the combinations becomes unmanageable and not ideal.

You have attached a single question, not a sample survey (.lss file) as requested.

Hello, I was able to solve this. I've enclosed the sample survey that I demonstrated this. The code to switch the order is below. Obviously, it's hardcoded to move specific subquestions in the multiple choice question, but hopefully it'll be helpful for someone to use when they come across this need.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
   $(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {
        place_top = "javatbd{SGQ}TOP";
        $("#answer{SID}X{GID}X619CAR").click(function(){
            move_element = "javatbd{SGQ}C2";
            $("#"+move_element).insertAfter("#"+place_top);
            move_element = "javatbd{SGQ}C1";
            $("#"+move_element).insertAfter("#"+place_top);
            console.log ("car!");
        });
        
        $("#answer{SID}X{GID}X619PLANE").click(function(){
            move_element = "javatbd{SGQ}P2";
            $("#"+move_element).insertAfter("#"+place_top);
            move_element = "javatbd{SGQ}P1";
            $("#"+move_element).insertAfter("#"+place_top);
            console.log ("airplane!");
        });
   });
</script>
