Survey participants are asked to provide ratings of a large collection of items. The top-rated item is then presented to the participant for confirmation. If the participant declines this option, they are presented with the next three top-rated items and asked to select one.

Eg.
1. How much would you pay for a chocolate muffin? ($1, >$2<, $3, $4, $5)
2. How much would you pay for a strawberry muffin? (>$1<, $2, $3, $4, $5)
3. How much would you pay for a zucchini muffin? ($1, $2, $3, $4, >$5<)

4. Are you sure you'd pay the most for a zucchini muffin? (Yes, >No<)
5. Okay, for which of the following muffins would you be willing to pay most? (zucchini, >chocolate<, strawberry)

I am able to find one of the items assigned the highest rating by calculating the maximum rating among all items, storing the value to a hidden question, and then checking each item's rating against this stored value. I have not found a way to obtain an ordered list of the top-rated answers using Expression Manager.

How can I provide this experience?

(Reached out to moderator to move question.)

It occurs to me that I might be able to assign a relevance equation to each answer option, checking that it equals or exceeds some score. This would get me close enough– I don't care about the exact number of options. Does that sound like a good plan?

Moved to different forum, as requested.

I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

What format are these questions? Can you attach a small sample survey?

Cheers,
