{{Alert|title=Deprecated for Answer Options|text=As of 5.5.0, this attribute is not longer used for ordering answer options. Please see [[QS:Answer_order]]}}


This attribute causes LimeSurvey to ignore the existing order of answer options/subquestions, and instead it orders them randomly. This option permits the survey creator to diminish the survey bias. Please note that if a question has subquestions, the order of subquestions will be randomized, not the order of the answer options.
