By default, the order of answer options is established when a question is created
with a data type of Choice or Likert Scale.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: assessment_admin or admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

The system creates an Order value for each choice based on where it appears in the
original list when you submit it. This order corresponds to the
Value setting you give the answer. The choice with the
lowest order number appears first, and the choice with the highest order number
appears last. If you want to reconfigure the order of the answer options, you must
do so by editing the Order field and not the
Value field.

The Order column is hidden in the base system.

## Prozedur

1. Access the question record.
2. Configure the Assessment Metric Definitions related list to display the Order column.
3. Edit the order number in the list.  
   Hinweis:  
   The Value setting remain the same for each answer option after reorganization.
