Hello I am running a survey experiment three arms. Every respondent is shown all the treatments in random order, and they have to answer a battery of questions (in a matrix) after every vignette. 

I would like to randomize the order of how the question appear in the matrix, but keeping the order consistent for each respondent. 

What I did is to create a question called Order, with the matrix question and a randomization of the order. Then for each vignette i use the "carry forward statements"statement feature to make sure they see questions in the same order. 

The approach is working but I am unable to export the order in which the question are displayed. The reason is that the question is hidden, and hence even if I click on the "Export viewing order data for randomized surveys" when exporting the data what I get is an empty cell for my Order question because it was not displayed.

Does anyone knows how I can export the order showed in a hidden question/ or a carry forward question? Otherwise do you have suggestion to deal with this issue having a single randomization for multiple questions? 

The reason I am not doing this with my first vignette, is that I have 5 different vignettes in a randomizer, and I would have to do tons of brances to make sure that the order is carried forward regardless of what is the first vignette displayed.

thanks a lot for your help
