Three version A and Three version B in random order

Hi, I have a question of survey group randomization in Qualtrics.
I have 6 scenarios and each scenario has two versions: scenario 1 (version A and B), scenario 2 (version A and B) ... until scenario 6.
I want to make participants see three version A scenarios and three version B scenarios in random order. One version for each scenario is needed to be selected.
For example, it will be like
S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6
A A A B B B
B A B B A A
...
in random order (S4 S2 S3... like that).
I was trying to do that by using randomizer and group in survey flow, but I couldn't think of a good solution.

Thanks for the responses in advance!

You can have nested randomizers, so a top level randomizer that randomly shows 1 of 6 scenarios (blocks), then inside each of those scenarios a different randomizer that can randomly show the version.

https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/31681#Comment_31681Hi, I am struggling with a similar problem.
Your solution doesn't guarantee that both scenarios get displayed equally right? It would still be possible that version A gets shown 4 times, and version B 2 times.
Do you have any other suggestion?
Thanks!

Within each "nest" you can force the distribution (50/50, 30/70...), I don't currently have the mental power to work out the probabilities and possible scenarios in my head :( And without knowing you specific situation it would be hard to say what would or wouldn't work.
Sorry for the non-answer answer!
