Ranking

Let respondents order options by preference using drag-and-drop or arrow controls

The Ranking element asks respondents to order a list of items (for example features, priorities, or preferences). You define the options; respondents assign ranks.

When to use

  • Priority lists, feature voting, or “order these from most to least important”
  • When relative order matters more than a single score per item
