Groups are the primary method of organizing the display of large surveys (creating new page loads) as well as randomizing blocks of questions in survey batteries (e.g., stress scale, depression scale, cognitive test, etc. in one sitting). We (well, at least I) need a way of controlling presentation that is not directly linked to randomization.

The problem comes when one has A) a large number of questions that should be presented in order together but randomized as a group with other groups, or B) an array item with many subquestions in a similar randomization situation, and we don't want a user to scroll down the page. Multiple groups must be used to create new pages on the screen, which results in the loss of randomization ability without breaking up a component of the assessment.
