Answer display order
Answer display order allows to sort answer options in different ways. It can be set in ascending, descending, randomize and default format. For example, if you want to set up an online exam and each candidate should see answer options in different sequence then the answer display order should be set to random. If you have a list of states or countries then you can display them in ascending order.
