==================
When randomisation is applied to two questions, each of which having a second random question associated (conditional on the answer to the first), a formatting error often occurs, causing the second question to appear above the first. How can I ensure that the second question always appears after the first? Thank you very much!

In your special case, a LSS file that shows the behaviour would be great.

I think there is something wrong in the structure of your survey, because if the survey is structured correctly, it is basically impossible for the second question appear before the first question.

I suspect that you put those two questions into the same randomization group, which will then lead to the questions appear in different order.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

I don't think that I put those two questions into the same randomization group, but I send the .lss file so that you can see.

Thanks, again!

Yes, you did.
Q101, Q102, Q103,... are in the same randomization group "random1"
But the other related questions Q10101, Q10102 resp. Q10201, Q10201, ... are not.

So you might get something like
Q103
Q10101
Q10102
Q102
Q10201
Q10202
Q101
Q10301
Q10302
Q104
Q10401
Q10402

Because of the randomization group Q101 - Q104 are in randomized order.
Now if your random number "random1" is equal 1 you see that Q101 if displayed after Q10101 and Q10102

This randomization group "random1" is obsolete.

You show one of Q101 - Q104, selected by the random number.
And the following question are shown by condition: To be on the safe side you should add the random number to the condition, too.

Thank you very much for your answer.

It was very helpful as I've solved the problem in my computer. But when a collegue tests the survey in her PC, the problem remains, with the second question appearing above the first.
What do I have to do to prevent this from happening every time, and not only in my computer (note: we are both using google chrome).  

Thanks again!

What do I have to do to prevent this from happening every time,

Send the lss export!

What does this mean?

You did not answer where your Limesurvey is installed. Do you run a local copy on YOUR computer?

Because usually, if you change this in Limesurvey and your colleague accesses that same Limesurvey intallation and the same survey, this should be solved for anyone who is accessing this survey.

So to me, it sounds strange that it is supposed to be solved on YOUR computer and not on your colleagues computer, if both access the same link.

So, please answer the questions that are there when you start a new thread in Limesurvey.

You left them empty in your first post.

And like Joffm says: Provide an LSS export of your survey, so we can have a look at what you have actually done.

Thank you.
Attached I send the .lss file.

H,
you did not remove the randomization groups.
They are still there.



Though you named the "randomization group name" and your random number both "random1" these are two absolutely different things.
You use a random number to select ONE object randomly from x objects.
You use a randomization group to display ALL objects with this name in randomized order.
If you are not familiar with this, please, create a small sample survey to see and understand the differences.

And:

You use the Community edition. So, if you really have an own server, you know this.
So this seems to be something like an installation of your university, your company, or whatever. This is also important for us to know.
