Re-ordering sub questions in translation

Re-ordering sub questions in translation was created by mainlevel
Dear all,
I'm having an issue with translating and re-ordering sub-questions. My survey is in two language (German / English). One multiple answer question has a long list of sub questions. The order of these sub questions needs to change in English (because it is alphabetical). Unfortunately, I cannot find out how to adjust the order of the sub-question in English.

I'd appreciate any help!!

Thank you so much!

Cheers
Daniel

It seems that there is no such a setting for multiple choice question.

Oups,

Yes right elissa …

Sorry, bad reading.

No included solution then … JS way or Question Template way (or plugin) maybe …

Maybe two questions each shown for different language? I'm not sure if you can set a condition on the language?

Placing this script in the source of a multiple-choice question in version 3.15.x will sort the sub-questions alphabetically:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ // Identify this question var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}'); var thisList = $('li.answer-item:eq(0)', thisQuestion).closest('ul'); // Build an array of sub-question labels var optionsArr = []; $('li.answer-item', thisQuestion).each(function(i) { optionsArr.push($.trim($('label:eq(0)', this).text())); }); // Sort the array optionsArr.sort(); // Reposition the sub-questions $(optionsArr).each(function(i) { var thisVal = this; $('li.answer-item', thisQuestion).filter(function() { return $.trim($('label:eq(0)', this).text()) == thisVal; }).appendTo(thisList); }); }); </script>
Cheers,
Tony Partner
