Loop and merge randomise loop order between 2 fields

Hi! I have a question about loop and merge, and could not find any answers on the forum. I want to randomise the loop order not only between the rows, but also the columns of my loop and merge. I am displaying my images side by side in my question block, as can be seen in the second image. For that to work, I need two fields. I want to randomise the pairing of the images for my experiment. Does anyone maybe have any suggestions for me? I would greatly appreciate it!

 

 

There is no direct way to do this. Could be done using JavaScript not sure though. This thread also speaks about the same issue

Randomly assign the field 2 images to embedded data fields prior to the loop (e.g., loop1img, loop2img, etc.), then pipe those values into field 2 (e.g., ${e://Field/loop1img}). You can do the randomization with survey flow randomizers, but as easier solution it to make them choices in a randomized MC question and use JS to hide the question and save the choice labels (the image urls) to the embedded data fields.
