Here are the ideas about LimeSurvey that are currently being implemented for the 2.0 release.

Need Question Group Randomization

Written by JoyLaneResearch the 29 Nov 10 at 22:17. Related project: 1.x all. In development

In concept testing (marketing research) it is sometimes necessary to randomize or rotate the order in which groups of questions are presented, such as when exposure to questions about one concept change feelings about another.

While not a feature of LimeSurvey, there was a workaround available that met this need in LS 1.87+. The workaround was described in a document called "randomize_groups.pdf."

Unfortunately, the workaround described in the document no longer works in LS 1.90+.

I have two currently active clients that rely on me to have this capability. Without it, I may loose their business.

Selected solution (#2): sub-groups

Written by rafaelrp the 26 Sep 11 at 04:22.

I believe the best way to solve this problem is by creating groups of groups. It may be that it is more work, or not, create a survey, but this way we could do just as castors currently certain issues within the group, thus able to maintain the order of questions within a sub-group and display them random.
It could be done as follows: to create the group display a box to select whether to casters or not, when there is a subgroup is created automatically with the same name or something similar, and when rotation is selected group of questions to ask create sub-groups.
Unfortunately I'm new to programming, I would like to know how to implement this logic I have described.
