Correct Order is a quiz question type that asks participants to arrange a set of shuffled statements into the correct sequence — ideal for timelines, process steps, or ranking exercises.

​
How It Works

Participants see the question and a row of shuffled statements on their device. They have the time limit you set to drag and drop the statements into what they believe is the correct order, then press Submit to lock in their answer.
Correct Order does not support partial scoring. Participants must get every statement in the exact correct order to earn any points — even one misplaced statement results in 0 points.

​
Setting Up a Correct Order Slide

4

Configure points and time

Scroll down to set the point range and time limit — see Settings below.

​
Settings

Set the maximum and minimum points for the question. With Faster answers get more points toggled on (the default), players who answer sooner earn more points within the max–min range.

Tips for a Good Correct Order Slide

  • Keep the list to 5 items max — fewer items means less cognitive load and easier dragging on mobile.
  • Make each item distinct — avoid items that could plausibly swap positions.
  • Use a clear, unambiguous question — for example, “Put these steps in the correct order.”
  • Choose a logical sequence type — chronological events, process steps, or ranked priorities work best.
  • Keep item text concise — short phrases of 3–7 words are easier to read and drag.
  • Avoid numbering items — don’t write “Step 1: …” in the text, as it gives the answer away.
