Changing the Order of Options within a Select Dropdown | XM Community
Skip to main content

This sort of piggy-backs on the post below where there was a desire to restrict the options displayed.
https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/49093#Comment_49093I'd like to know if anyone has manipulated the select that is available and actually reordered the options? If so, I would appreciate and example. I've tried a number of ways and it is behaving strangely .
Thanks,

Hi everman,
there are ways to reorder the answer categories differently from their original position. It depends on the multi-select setup. Is the question single answer, multiple answers, or dropdown?
Best regards

Hi Rudi,
In this case, it is a single select dropdown. I believe the question is a split type which came from library and has day, month, and year.
I have JavaScript now where I remove items to shrink the list to only applicable choices. If I use the same object to try removeChild and appendChild it just doesn’t work.
I have a feeling this may be a limitation of how JavaScript is implemented within the Qualtrics platform. Thanks so much for responding.
