I have a completed survey and created a statistics sheet to display the frequency of certain answers. When I use LimeSurvey to generate the statistics, however, I don't seem to have an option to ask LimeSurvey to rank the answers based on answers that were most frequently chosen to answers that were least frequently chosen. The display shows the order of answers based on their question number as entered into LimeSurvey when I created the survey. I think it would be easier to read the results if I should rank the answers by the amount of people who answered them.
I've attached an image to show what I mean - you can see that the largest amount of people chose question SQ008 (12 people chose this one), but it is listed as #8 on the list due to its question number. I'd like it to be at the top so that we can rank answers chosen from highest to lowest.
Limesurvey was born as (and still mainly is) a data collection tool, not an analysis tool. The statistics feature is rather basic and is good for a quick glimps at the results during the field time, but not really made for data analsyis. As far as I know, what you want to do is not possible in Limesurvey.
You could create a feature request, but for a feature to be implemented into Limesurvey, this can take quite a while.
Help us to help you!
Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
