Okay, in that survey the questions are in separate groups, so a JavaScript solution would be...
1) Remove the "
Get order from previous question" setting from the second array question.
2) Insert a new short-text question directly after the first array question with question code "q1Order".
3) Insert this script in the source of the short-text question. It will hide that question and load it with the sub-question order of the first array.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
// Identify the questions
var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
var prevQuestion = $(thisQuestion).prevAll('div[id^="question"]:eq(0)');
var prevQCode = $(prevQuestion).attr('id').replace(/question/, '');
// Hide this question
$(thisQuestion).hide();
// An array for the sub-question codes
var sqCodes = [];
// Loop through the previous question sub-questions
$('tr[id^="javatbd"]', prevQuestion).each(function(i) {
var thisCode = $(this).attr('id').split('X'+prevQCode)[1];
sqCodes.push(thisCode);
});
// Load the input
$('input:text:eq(0)', thisQuestion).val(sqCodes);
});
</script>
4) Add this script to the source of the second array. It will retrieve the sub-question order from the hidden question and move the array rows accordingly.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
// Identify this question
var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
// Get the previous sub-question codes
var sqCodes = '{q1Order}'.split(',');
// Loop through the previous question sub-question codes
$.each(sqCodes, function(i, val) {
// Move the corresponding array row
$('table.subquestions-list tbody:eq(0)', thisQuestion).append($('tr[id$="X{QID}'+val+'"]'));
});
// Fix up array row background colours
$('table.subquestions-list tbody > tr', thisQuestion).each(function(i){
$(this).removeClass('array1 array2').addClass('array'+(2-(i%2)));
});
});
</script>
Attached is a working sample survey for LS 2.06.
