Hi,
Let's say the first multiple question is Q1 with subquestion codes 1, 2, 3, ...
To do this I prefer to create a "container" to store interim results
1. Create a question of type "multiple short text" (I called it "RC" like "Result Container") with subquestions
RC_11
RC_12
RC_13
RC_21
RC_22
RC_23
RC_31
RC_32
RC_33
RC_99 (for the final result)
Three subquestions are needed for each element

2. Create a question of type "equation" and enter (only) the equations
First create the base:
{RC_11=join(if(Q1_1=="Y","A",""),if(Q1_2=="Y","B",""),if(Q1_3=="Y","C",""),if(Q1_4=="Y","D",""),if(Q1_5=="Y","E",""),if(Q1_6=="Y","F",""),if(Q1_7=="Y","G",""),if(Q1_8=="Y","H",""),if(Q1_9=="Y","I",""),if(Q1_10=="Y","J",""))}
We get something like "ADEGIJ"
Now the procedure I explained before
Random number from 1 to the length of this string
{RC_12=if(is_empty(RC_12),rand(1,strlen(RC_11)),RC_12)}

Capture the letter at this position
{RC_13=substr(RC_11,RC_12-1,1)}

Remove the letter at this position; this is the base for the next round
{RC_21=str_replace(RC_13,'',RC_11)}
{RC_22=if(is_empty(RC_22),rand(1,strlen(RC_21)),RC_22)}
{RC_23=substr(RC_21,RC_22-1,1)}


{RC_31=str_replace(RC_23,'',RC_21)}
{RC_32=if(is_empty(RC_32),rand(1,strlen(RC_31)),RC_32)}
{RC_33=substr(RC_31,RC_32-1,1)}


Now there are three letters (in RC_13, RC_23 and RC_33)

Joined with a  '#' (important for the function "strpos(x,y)")
{RC_99=join('#',RC_13,RC_23,RC_33)}

Now the conditions of the subquestions in Q2 are (just ask: Does the final strinf contain the letter)
strpos(RC_99,"A")>0
strpos(RC_99,"B")>0
strpos(RC_99,"C")>0

...


And there is this javascript solution.
Create a question of type "short text"
in the default answer enter
{list(if(Q1_1=="Y","A",""),if(Q1_2=="Y","B",""),if(Q1_3=="Y","C",""),if(Q1_4=="Y","D",""),if(Q1_5=="Y","E",""),if(Q1_6=="Y","F",""),if(Q1_7=="Y","G",""),if(Q1_8=="Y","H",""),if(Q1_9=="Y","I",""),if(Q1_10=="Y","J",""))}

and this script
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  function shuffle(array) {
    var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
    // While there remain elements to shuffle...
    while (0 !== currentIndex) {
      // Pick a remaining element...
      randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
      currentIndex -= 1;
      // And swap it with the current element.
      temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
      array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
      array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
    }
    return array;
  }
 
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
  // Fill the array
  var str = $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').val();
  var arr=str.split(", ");
  arr = shuffle(arr).slice(0,3).join('');
  $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').val('#' + arr);
});
</script>


Hide the question with css class "d-none"
and use the same subquestion conditions.

Hi Holch,
Thanks for reply
Sorry for inconvenience
I doesn't mean for quick response,i just follow up the same
I thought he came back from vacation

What part of "He is on vacation and he will share it when he is back in Germany" did you not understand?

This is a forum where users help users. There is no right for a (quick) answer. Please be patient.

My solution would be to do as Joffm suggests - load the sub-question order in a hidden (via CSS class) short-text question. On page load, if that question is found to be populated, that order is used, otherwise your randomization alogorithm kick in.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
        function shuffleArray(array) {
            for (var i = array.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
                var j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
                var temp = array[i];
                array[i] = array[j];
                array[j] = temp;
            }
            return array;
        }
 
        // Merge function
        function mergeArrays(array1, array2) {
            var mergedArray = [];
            var maxLength = Math.max(array1.length, array2.length);
 
            for (var i = 0; i < maxLength; i++) {
                if (i < array2.length) {
                    mergedArray.push(array2[i]);
                }
                if (i < array1.length) {
                    mergedArray.push(array1[i]);
                }
            }
 
            return mergedArray;
        }
 
        // Identify some elements and define variables
        var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
        var thisAnswerList = $('tr.answers-list:eq(0)', thisQuestion).parent();
        var thisTable = $('table.subquestion-list:eq(0)', thisQuestion);
        var orderQuestion = $(thisQuestion).nextAll('.text-short:eq(0)');
        var orderInput = $(':text.form-control:eq(0)', orderQuestion);
        var array_res;
        var aOrder = [];
 
        // Previously set order
        if($.trim($(orderInput).val()) != '') {
            array_res = $.trim($(orderInput).val()).split(',');
        }
        // No previous order set
        else {    
            // Special codes appear after
            var afterCode = 4;
 
            //Array for K Codes
            var array_k = ["b","d","g","h","i","j","l"];

Hm actually, I figured it might be easier to replace the Math.random() function with a seeded random function and then use the survey number as a seed. That way it should stay constant for a user.

Though how would I access that? Right now I've plugged in Date.now()
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" data-author="BBSR-SR5 &amp; Tony Partner">
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
 
//Define Seeded Random function
   function splitmix32(a) {
  return function() {
    a |= 0;
    a = a + 0x9e3779b9 | 0;
    let t = a ^ a >>> 16;
    t = Math.imul(t, 0x21f0aaad);
    t = t ^ t >>> 15;
    t = Math.imul(t, 0x735a2d97);
    return ((t = t ^ t >>> 15) >>> 0) / 4294967296;
  };
}
 
function shuffleArray(array) {
  const seed = Date.now();
  const random = splitmix32(seed);
  for (let i = array.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
    const j = Math.floor(random() * (i + 1));
    [array[i], array[j]] = [array[j], array[i]];
  }
  return array;
}
 
    // Merge function
        function mergeArrays(array1, array2) {
            var mergedArray = [];
            var maxLength = Math.max(array1.length, array2.length);
 
            for (var i = 0; i < maxLength; i++) {
                if (i < array2.length) {
                    mergedArray.push(array2[i]);
                }
                if (i < array1.length) {
                    mergedArray.push(array1[i]);
                }
            }
 
            return mergedArray;
        }
 
    //Identify this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
    var thisAnswerList = $('tr.answers-list:eq(0)', thisQuestion).parent();
    var thisTable = $('table.subquestion-list:eq(0)', thisQuestion);
 
    // Special codes appear after
        var afterCode = 4;
 
        //Array for K Codes
        var array_k = ["b","d","g","h","i","j","l"];
 
        //Array for N Codes
        var array_n = ["c","e","f","k","m","n"];
 
        //Array for Special K Codes
        var array_sk = [];
 
        //Array for Special N codes
        var array_sn = ["a"];
 
        //Array for super special codes
        var array_ss = ["o"];
 
    // Shuffle order of "normal" arrays
        shuffleArray(array_k);
        shuffleArray(array_n);
 
 
        // Slice "normal" arrays and merge second part to special codes
        array_sk = array_sk.concat(array_k.slice(afterCode));
        array_sn = array_sn.concat(array_n.slice(afterCode));
 
        // Save only first part of "normal" arrays
        array_k = array_k.slice(0, afterCode);
        array_n = array_n.slice(0, afterCode);
 
        // Shuffle special arrays
        shuffleArray(array_sk);
        shuffleArray(array_sn);
        shuffleArray(array_ss);
 
        // Combine normal and special arrays
        array_k = array_k.concat(array_sk);
        array_n = array_n.concat(array_sn);
 
        // Merge arrays in order n,k,n,k...
        var array_res = mergeArrays(array_k, array_n);
 
        //Add super special array to end of result array
        array_res = array_res.concat(array_ss);
 
 
 
 
    // Loop through the answer codes
    $.each(array_res, function(i, val) {
      // Move the answer item
      $(thisAnswerList).append($('tr.answers-list[id$="X{QID}'+val+'"]', thisQuestion));
    });
 
 
 
 
    // Fix up the row background colours
        $('tr.answers-list', thisQuestion). each (function(i){
            $(this).removeClass('ls-even ls-odd');
            if(i % 2 == 0) {
                $(this).addClass('ls-even');
            }
            else {
                $(this).addClass('ls-odd');
            }
        });
 
      //alert(array_res);
    //console.log(array_res);
    });
 
 
 
</script>

How would I access the participant number from the code?

Ich habe die Lösung selber gefunden. In dem fall aktiviert man einfach die Zufällig Antwortrotation und ergänzt folgenden Code im Fragefenster:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
// The number of answers to be fixed at the end of the list
var fixedAnswers = 1;
 
// Set this to "true" if you want "Other" to be fixed in the last position
var otherFixed = false;
 
// Identify this question
var qID = {QID};
 
// Find the number of answers
var ansCount = $('#question'+qID+' .answer-item').length;
if($('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) {
ansCount = ansCount -1
}
console.log(ansCount);
 
// Place the last n answers created at the end of the list
var fixedIndex = fixedAnswers - 1;
for (var i=0; i<fixedAnswers; i++) {
var answer = $('input[id^="answer"][id$="X'+qID+(ansCount-fixedIndex)+'"]');
var answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item');
var answersList = $(answer).closest('ul');
$(answersList).append(answerItem);
fixedIndex--;
}
 
// Handle "Other"
if(otherFixed == true &amp;&amp; $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) {
var otherAnswer = $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]');
var otherAnswerItem = $(otherAnswer ).closest('.answer-item');
var otherAnswersList = $(otherAnswer ).closest('ul');
$(otherAnswersList).append(otherAnswerItem);
}
});
</script>


Den Code habe ich aus dem manual hier btw: manual.limesurvey.org/Workarounds:_Manip...28radio.29_questions

Edit: Wichtiger Hinweis, der Code funktioniert nur wenn die Antwortoptionen mit Zahlen nummeriert sind.
1,2,3,4,5,6 geht
a,b,c,d,e,f geht nicht!

Danke für den Hinweis,

das habe ich jetzt so umgesetzt. Ich habe jetzt nur das Problem, dass ich gerne die Items rotieren möchte und das sonstige Item an seinem (letzten) Platz lassen möchte. Ich hatte gehofft, dass ich dafür einfach den Code aus den Matrix rotationen verwenden könnte:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" data-author="Tony Partner">
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
function shuffleArray(array) {
    for (var i = array.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
        var j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
        var temp = array[i];
        array[i] = array[j];
        array[j] = temp;
    }
    return array;
}
    
    
    //Identify this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
    var thisAnswerList = $('tr.answers-list:eq(0)', thisQuestion).parent();
 
    // Special codes appear after
    var afterCode=11;
    
    // Fill the array with "normal" codes
    var array1=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11];
    
    // Fill the array with "special" codes
    var array2=[12];
    shuffleArray(array1);
    array2=array2.concat(array1.slice(afterCode));
    array1=array1.slice(0,afterCode);
    shuffleArray(array2);
    array1=array1.concat(array2);
    
    alert(array1)
 
    // Loop through the answer codes
    $.each(array1, function(i, val) {
      // Move the answer item
      $(thisAnswerList).append($('tr.answers-list[id$="X{QID}'+val+'"]', thisQuestion));
    });
  });
</script>
Aber das funktioniert nicht. Während der array1 korrekt erzeugt wird, wird die Anordnung der Items nicht verändert. Ich nehme an, der Loop am Schluss muss dafür verändert werden, aber ich weiß nicht wie :)

@Mazi,
at the moment I'm on vacation.
When I'm back in Germany I show/send a full example.

@rajkumar_dms, yes we understood your wish.
You have solution with pure ExpressionScript.

javascript is also possible.
Store the "string" in a question of type "short text".
Change the string to an array, shuffle the array, and use the first three elements.

Hi,
​​​​​​in your survey I see nothing of the things @holch and I told you.

Where is the question of type "equation", where you generate the random number as said and shown before?
Best you put it into the "Sociodemographic" group.

And where are the two conditions
"randnumber==1" and "randnumber==2" in the questions "EndMod" resp. "FullyMod"?

That's all you have todo.

By the way you should use a quota to screen out people who do not consent.
Instead of putting this condition into each group condition.

@joffm, that letter-based approach sounds pretty interesting. But how can you loop through this using EM?
E.g. once the first character was picked, how can you pass the updated letters to a second call of that function?

Thanks you for response
For the second i had the java script for the same
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    
    var numberToShow = 5;
    
    $(document).on('ready', function(){      
        if($('#question{QID} input:checkbox:checked').length == 0) {
            $('#question{QID} input:checkbox:lt('+numberToShow+')').each(function(i) {
                $(this).nextAll('input:hidden').val('Y');
                $(this).prop('checked', true).trigger('change');
            }); 
        }
    });
</script>
But my requirement something different i will show the 3 answer option randomly on the basis previous questions selected answer 
Let us suppose i have Q1 have 10 option but i selected the 6 option, from this 6 selected option we need to show only 3 option in the next question on random basis
I hope you understood my requierment

What are the "top 3" in a multiple question?
Or only 3 randomly selected from all selections?
For the second there are many examples in the forum, only using ExpressionScript with the idea:
1.
​​​​​​Create a string with symbols of the selected options like "BDEGI"
2. Create a random number from 1 to the length of this string.
3. Capture the letter at this position
4. Remove the letter from the string.
5. Start again at 2. now with the shorter string

Stop after you captured three letters.
Now you have your thrree randomly selected options 
Display the options that are represented by the letters with " conditions".

Search the forum for a more detailed description and a sample.
I am sure there is.
