Reordering Fields
Sometimes the success of a form depends not just on what you ask, but in which order you ask it. By reordering fields, you can create a natural progression that guides respondents smoothly from one step to the next, helping them stay focused and increasing completion rates.
Steps to Reorder Fields
Open your form in the Formaloo editor.
In the left sidebar, find the list of fields.
Click and drag a field to your desired position.
Drop the field where you want it to appear.
💡 Pro Tip: Combine field reordering with advanced logic to create smart flows that adapt to your users’ answers. This ensures your form not only looks structured but also reacts intelligently to user input.
Reordering fields gives you control over the journey your respondents take, making your form easier to understand and more likely to be completed without confusion.
Shuffling Fields and Choices
While reordering sets a fixed structure, shuffling introduces an element of randomness that’s perfect for eliminating bias. This is especially useful in surveys, quizzes, or research forms where the order of questions or options might influence how people respond. By enabling shuffling, each user gets a unique experience, keeping results more neutral and reliable.
Steps to Shuffle
In the form editor, open Form Settings.
Go to the Design tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section.
Enable one or both of these options:
Shuffle fields order: Randomizes the sequence of form fields each time it loads.
Shuffle field choices: Randomizes choices inside specific fields such as multiple choice or checkbox questions.
Save your changes.
🎨 Shuffling the fields and choices is especially powerful for quizzes, where random order keeps things fair and engaging. Check out our ready-to-use Quiz Templates to see how you can apply this in minutes.
Shuffling ensures fairness and consistency in your results, keeping your data accurate while making the form more dynamic and engaging for respondents.
