order from

To order list options with the scheme from another widget, use the orderfrom tag. The orderfrom tag accepts a question label or list name as an input. It then applies the ordering from the referenced widget. The list or question label referenced by orderfrom must have an order or randomize tag to parse successfully.

Syntax

2. Question
type: radio
series: 1..5
orderfrom: Label of ordered widget

Example

Reuse ordering from a prior question

In the following example, the order tag on Q1 uses '[*]' as an input, so the options will be randomized. Because of the orderfrom tag, Q2 will then have the same option order as Q1.

Reuse ordering from a list

The orderfrom tag can also reference set lists with a defined order, as shown below.

Tables — 'row order from' and 'col order from'

When used in a table, the orderfrom tag will re-order the table's options list only. To re-order the rows or columns of a table, use the variants row order from and col order from. These tags will apply the ordering from the widget specified to the table's rows and options, respectively.

In this example, the rows appear in the same order as the options from the MY_LIST widget because it is the input specified in the roworderfrom tag.

Inline as a decorator

The orderfrom tag may also be used as a decorator on a list call (optsfrom/rowsfrom/colsfrom). To do this, use square brackets.
