Sorting categorical response lists
You can control the order in which the responses in a categorical list are displayed to respondents, either to make it easier for respondents to find items in a long list, or to counteract the tendency to select responses from the top of the list. You can use the following keywords:
Keyword
Description
asc
desc
fix
ran
rev
rot
