Thanks both :)


That is what I did, however the questions in the question group remain in the order I gave them. The names of the questions are Qs1 - Qs34 .. could it be because they are sequential?


Thanks!

Please attach a small sample survey (.lss file) containing only that group.

Cheers,

Hi Tony

As I was exporting, and importing into a test survey, I tested again and realised that if you do Preview Survey the questions are randomized, but if you do Preview Question Group they are not.

So that was my issue - I didn't realise that randomization happens only on Survey preview not on Group preview

Thanks!

If this isn't mentioned at the manual please add a note. It is a wiki system and everyone can (and should) improve it.

Thanks!

That should have no impact.

You might create a little example survey. Export it as LSS file and attach it here. Perhaps you have found an issue. Perhaps your survey has an issue.

Thank you so much for this ! You saved me hours of searching. I couldn't figure out why it was not working for me.

Cheers!
