Sorting subsections but not responses in the subsections
Put the ordering keyword at the end of the response section of the question as a whole. The interviewing program then presents the subsections in a different order for each interview, but all respondents always see the responses in the subsections in the order they are defined in the interviewing script. For example, if the question is defined as:
Perception2 "What things would you mention about the Internet
if you were describing it to a friend?" categorical [1..]
{
Favorable "Good things"
{
EasytoUse "Easy to use",
LotsOfInfo "Access to a lot of information",
PeopleLikeMe "Can chat to people with same interests",
BuyOnline "Good way to buy goods/services"
},
Unfavorable "Bad things"
{
NotReliable "Not a secure way to make purchases",
BadExperience "I had a bad experience in the past",
NotPrivate "Need to guard personal information",
Difficult "It's difficult to find appropriate web sites"
}
} rot;
the interviewing program displays favorable comments before unfavorable ones for one interview and then display unfavorable comments before favorable ones for the next interview. The comments themselves are always shown in the order in which they are defined in the question.
