Ranking
The ranking field lets respondents drag and drop items into their preferred order. It’s perfect for prioritization questions like “Rank these features from most to least important.”
Adding a ranking field
- Click the + button between blocks, or
- Type
/rankingand select Ranking from the list
Adding items
Click on items to edit their text, press Enter to add new ones, and drag to reorder the default order.
Settings
- Required — respondents must rank all items before submitting
- Randomize — shuffle the default order for each respondent so position bias doesn’t skew your results
How it works for respondents
In the published form, respondents see a list of items they can drag and drop into their preferred order. Every item must be placed — there’s no skipping individual items in a ranking.
When to use it
Ranking works well when you want to understand relative preference — not just what people like, but what they like more. Great for:
- Feature prioritization
- Product comparisons
- Preference ordering
If you just want to know how much people like something on an absolute scale, use Rating or Linear Scale instead.
