I'm curious to know more, what is the purpose for sorting the answer choices based on degree?

Hi @Jesse,
Could you please elaborate more on this?

Without knowing more, I'd say my go to is doing the work in survey flow over the editor (branch over blocks). Reason being, if I have alot of blocks it slows load time. Also, it's alot easier to keep track of logic if its in branches (in my opinion).

Jesse it doesn't sound like you need branches or blocks. You said "sort answers (to the same questions)". To me that sounds like a filter you would want in your analysis. Since your questions don't change by degree there's no need to block or branch. I would recommend that you have their degree in the contact list and add that column as an embedded data field in your survey flow. You can then anlayze based on that variable (e.g. set up filters, breakdowns)
