Hello:
I was attempting to set up a multiple choice quiz and the right answer choice is always the first answer. How do I change the order of the answer choices? Thank you!

Hello @mwhite10 ...
While the first possible answer in a multiple choice question *appears* to be the first option for every multiple choice question you create, that is only the "default". You can always select whichever possible answer you want to be the "correct" answer. When you hover your mouse over the area next to "Possible Answer", you should see a faded-green arrow to the left of the text boxes. Just click on that arrow to make it a more solid green color to set a different possibility as "correct". More information can be found in the section called "Change Correct Answer" in this Guide: How do I create a Multiple Choice quiz question?.
