How to store the order of selection of multiple response questions

Post by dayom4real »

How can I store the order of selection of values in a multiple selection question in CSPRO. I have a multiple selection question define in alphanumeric with codes A, B, C...... H. With checkbox control, If for example my selection is B, C, A I want B to be stored as first mention , C as second mention and C as third mention based on order they were selected

But currently if I select B, C, A. Then the textbox is showing ABC, it is reordering the text. But I want each text to maintain the position of selection. If I select B, C, A then I want it to show BCA or is there any method I can use to get the selection order in CSpro?

Please can anybody help me

Checkboxes are not meant to keep track of the sequence of selection. They only keep track of what was selected and what was not selected, not the order that the selections were made in. If you care about the sequence then use multiple single response questions with a dynamic value set. Search the forum for "ranking" and you will see some examples.
