I am currently designing an online experiment with 3 experimental arms. In one of the experimental arms, I will enable respondents to sort the choices by attribute that they want. Does Qualtrics have a function or feature for this?
Additional details:
On the page, I will show respondents 10 loan products with 5 attributes (e.g., effective interest rate and late payment fee).
I want to have a button on the page which will allow the respondent to sort the loan products by let’s say lowest effective interest rate or lowest late payment fee.
Thank you!
With kind regards,
Roland

Hi, Have your tried this with the pick, group and rank or the rank order question? Also could you share a screenshot of what will be the structure of the question. Please redact any sensitive information.
Hi @rolandrew,
You can use ‘Pick, Group and Rank’ question type for your use case. Please refer images below.
Respondents can pick and drag the loan products below the respective attributes.
Hope this helps!
Hi @Eumetis and @omkarkewat ,
Thank you so much for your responses. I looked at the ‘Pick, Group and Rank’ question type and it’s not what I am looking for. I don’t have a screenshot, but this is the sketch:
On the page, a respondent will see 10 loan products and he/she will be asked asked pick one loan product (i.e., choose first preference). The presentation of order of loan products is random. I want to add a button/feature that will allow the respondent to sort the options by lowest effective interest rate or by lowest late payment fee. At this stage, the respondent is not choosing a product yet, but rather there is just a change on how the choices are presented.
The “intervention” that I am introducing here is to allow the respondent to sort the choices by attribute they prefer.
Then, after sorting the products by “x”, the respondent will choose 1 product (not rank).
Essentially, what I am looking for is a feature/functionality that will allow respondent to dynamically sort the choices on the screen based on an attribute.
Qualtrics provides a feature called "Rank Order" that allows respondents to sort items based on their preferences or attributes. You can use this feature to implement the sorting functionality for the loan products in your online experiment.

There is no direct way to do this, sorting answer choices before the respondent can make a selection. A workaround could be to add the attributes in a text graphic question before the question or you might have to apply Javascript to incorporate this.
I believe you need “Conjoint Analysis” to achieve the desired result (Which product is the best based on the attributes they think will be the best as per their requirement).
If not, below represented is what I think you want to do:
Based on above example Product 5 is best as it gets Rank 2 in 1st attribute and Rank 1 in 2nd attribute (Same can be achieved using conjoint analysis)
This should solve the purpose BUT it has its own consequences:
1). Respondent can always drag and drop element in the wrong box (I made 2 boxes but as per your requirement, there will be 5 boxes).
2). Scrolling
Best way I believe is to break it down into 5 parts and represent it in Ranking Question.
Hope this helps :)
Dear @Nanditha MM , @Eumetis , and @Prateek.Dang ,
Thank you so much for the inputs. Much appreciated.
@rolandrew - You’re welcome. Let us know how you proceeded (ultimate solution for this issue). It will be a good learning experience for us too.
