Re-order "other" option in multiple choice question. was created by tammo
I am quite sure I have seen an answer, most probable by tpartner to this question, but after some searching I have not found it.

I have a multiple choice question where the "other" option should not be the last one. It should be like this:

[ ] Answer A
[ ] Answer B
[ ] Answer C
[ ] Other: _____
[ ] None of the above

Can anyone indicate the direction where I can find a solution for this? Thanks in advance.

Add this script to the question source and adjust "otherOffset" as necessary:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function(){ var otherOffset = 1; var newOtherIndex = ($('#question{QID} div.question-item').length-(otherOffset+1)); $('#question{QID} div.question-item:eq('+newOtherIndex+')').parent().before($('#question{QID} div.question-item[id$="other"]').parent()); }); </script>

Is there a way to make this work on an older version (Version 2.05+ Build 150310)? Currently don't have the capacity to upgrade. I tried this solution and it doesn't work. Is there another work around that might work?

Thanks,
S

For 2.05 and 2.06:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function(){ var otherOffset = 1; var newOtherIndex = ($('#question{QID} .question-item').length-(otherOffset+1)); $('#question{QID} .question-item:eq('+newOtherIndex+')').before($('#question{QID} .question-item[id$="other"]')); }); </script>

With the new LS 3.16 the script is not working anymore.
If you could help adapt it I'd be very thankful.

Kind regards, Simon

This script works in 3.16.x:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ var otherOffset = 1; var newOtherIndex = ($('#question{QID} .question-item').length-(otherOffset+1)); $('#question{QID} .question-item:eq('+newOtherIndex+')').before($('#question{QID} .question-item[id$="other"]')); }); </script>

You are welcome.

One note: as with all of my workarounds, I suggest disabling AJAX in the survey theme options.

Even without your excellent workarounds we can recommend to disable AJAX mode ;-)

I have a List (Radio) Single Choice Question with "other" enabled.
It seems the script needs to be modified to work with this question type too.

Any hints?

This will work for list-radio questions:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ var otherOffset = 1; var newOtherIndex = ($('#question{QID} .answer-item').length-(otherOffset+1)); $('#question{QID} .answer-item:eq('+newOtherIndex+')').before($('#question{QID} .answer-item[id$="other"]')); }); </script>
