Order answers

Use Order when every item belongs in the answer and its position matters, such as sequencing routine steps or ranking preferences. This method was previously called Sort; existing Guides can retain that button label.

For selecting some items, use Options. For one numeric rating, use Number Slider. Authors need Guide edit access.

Configure Order items

1. Open the Field's Answer methods and choose Add answer method → Order, or select an existing Order method.
2. Under Order items, enter a non-empty label for every item.
3. Choose an item's image area to add or replace its optional image. Use the image-clear control to remove it.
4. Choose Add item as needed. Drag the handles to set the starting order; use the delete control to remove an item from the draft.
5. Keep at least two items, review the Field's Response requirement and method Report/action settings, then select Save block.
6. Test both the starting order and a changed order in Preview.

Order supports up to 100 items. Labels must be unique without regard to capitalization: Morning and morning are duplicates. Keep the activity short enough to use on the intended devices. The authored order supplies the starting list; it is not a grading key.

Arrange and save an answer

1. Select Order if the Field offers multiple answer methods.
2. Drag an item to its new position and drop it.
3. Wait for the save to finish before moving another item or leaving.
4. If Done with response appears, select it to accept the displayed order and return to the chooser.

With a keyboard, focus a reorder handle and press Space or Enter to pick up the item. Use Up/Down, Home, or End to choose a position, then Space or Enter to drop. Escape cancels the move. Simplified playback provides Move up and Move down controls instead of drag handles.

Each completed move saves the entire order and can run an authored after-submit action. Every configured item must appear exactly once; partial lists and duplicate items are not answers.

Reset or clear

Reset order appears after the list differs from the authored starting order. It restores and saves that starting order.

Clear appears when an answer exists. It removes the saved response and shows the starting list again. Simply displaying the starting order does not record an answer.

To record an unchanged starting order, use Done with response when available, or move an item and then select Reset order. Clearing may leave a required Field unanswered. Choosing another method retains this method's accepted answer.

Reports and recovery

Included Reports show labels in saved order, such as Morning → Afternoon → Evening. Configured images help identify items; they are not uploaded answer evidence. Order cannot map to a Form question.

If a move is rejected, the list returns to its previous order. Check the connection and make the move again; Order has no dedicated Retry save control. If the method cannot run, ask its author to supply at least two valid items. For a missing Report answer, confirm it was saved and included. Preview practice answers stay out of the Reports inbox.
