When creating a Survey, is it possible to have the Response options of a multiple choice question present in a random order?

Example Question = What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Recipient 1 sees the options below:

A. Chocolate

B. Vanilla

C. Coffee

D. Mint

Recipient 2 sees the same options in a different order:

A. Vanilla

B. Mint

C. Coffee

D. Chocolate

Hello @zamwize

you will have to implement shuffle method and then

if you use page (v5 compatibility) activity - shuffle generated html parts
if you are not using page (v5 compatibility) HINT: add all inputs you want to display set them as you want and then take a look how the variables are set for each input type in the generated html a try to recreate your own form with submission handling in Page activity

<input id="vars_var1_411041886" class="radiolist" name="vars_var1" type="radio" onclick="document.controller.setValue('/ctx/vars/var1', this.checked ? 'm' : '', 'vars_var1_411041886');" value="m" style="">

Thank you for the suggestion!

I am using the Page (v5 compatibility) activity. Are you able to provide a quick step by step to shuffle generated html parts? Again, I'm only looking to shuffle the choices within a multiple choice selection, not randomizing the questions themselves.
