Overview

The Ranking question type enables survey creators to present participants with a list of answers or options that respondents can arrange based on their preferences. In the new editor's question type picker, this is offered as Ranking advanced under the Ranking & rating group — a separate standard Ranking type is not available.

Ranking advanced lets survey creators display those answer options as images rather than text. Participants drag the options from top to bottom to set their ranking.
