Summary13278: Survey questions sorting
Description

Hi,
I'm using the LimeSurvey RemoteControl API for a work project,
and I'm facing a problem with the survey questions sorting.

I am able to create a survey, containing a group of questions.
The problem is that the "question_order" property I set for each question
seems to be ignored by LimeSurvey, during the question creation itself.

I would say that LimeSurvey override the "question_order" information,
in fact I get a different question order.

For example, using my software
I tried to create 4 questions, sorting each of them with the following
"question_order" property value:​

[see the attachment called "desidered_sorting.png"]

but what I get on LimeSurvey is a totally different sorting
(you can see the new "question_order" value into the red rectangle)

[see the attachment called "wrong_sorting.png"]

I don't understand where I'm wrong:
can you help me to solve the problem, please?

Thank you so much,
Best Regards,
Agostino Giglio​

Can't you just sort them with whatever programming language you are fetching them with?

We don't fix more bugs for 2.7x. Please update to 3.1.

Hello,
we create the questions, yet ordered, from our software,
and we send them on LimeSurvey via api,
but they arrive unordered on LimeSurvey.
We think that should be a problem on RemoteControl api,
could you please confirm that?

Thank you,
Agostino

I am getting the exact same result. But, this is limited to the first question of the group. If you keep the first question at order 0 you can move the rest...?

Or well.. you call each ordering in different requests? When you change order of one question, you will also change the order of all the other questions right.
