I have a question with two choice groups. Both of them have an Other option. I want the group and the choice within the group randomized but I want the Other options to appear at the bottom of each group. How can I do this?

 

TIA!

When you click on Choice Randomization, select Advanced Randomization on the menu (last option shown here).

From the following screen, click on the choices you want to randomize to select them.  Next, click on the top arrow next to the green Randomize choices box.  This will add what you selected to the box and cause these choices to the randomize but leave any in fixed display order as is.  In my example, Time Management and Working With Others will randomize but always leave Prioritizing as the last choice in the list:

 

 

Be sure to click the green Save button at the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

Hope that helps!

I think this solution is when you don’t have grouped choices. When I have grouped choices, I have an option to randomize within the group but I don’t see an option to exclude one of the grouped choices from the randomization.
