How to reorder questions in a question bank grouped by question type...

  1. Click Reorder Questions from the toolbar or click Question from the menu bar and select Reorder.
  2. Click on an item (individual question, question type group, or narrative group) and hold down the mouse button while you drag the item to the new location in the list. Or, press either Ctrl+▲/Ctrl+▼(PC) or Cmd+▲/Cmd+▼(Mac) to move the highlighted question.
    Rules:
    • You can move a question only within the same question type.
    • To move an entire question type group (e.g., multiple choice), click on the question type title and drag it to the desired location.
    • You can move a group only to certain places in the list. The insertion bar appears as a dotted line to indicate where you may move the question group.
    • Questions attached to a narrative can be moved only within the same narrative group.
    • A question not a part of a narrative group cannot be moved into that group. Likewise, you cannot move a question linked to a narrative outside of the group.
    • Matching questions can be moved only within the same matching group.
  3. Repeat step 2 for each item to be moved.
  4. Click OK to update the current test.
