Hello @Anya_ Thanks for posting this in the Canvas community! I was able to test this in my sandbox and I saw the same results as you did for these type of questions. I looked further into this and found THIS post in the Canvas Idea Conversations page. It appears that this has been an ongoing discussion for quite a while.... My guess is that for Fill in the Blank type questions, it shuffles the distractors around the correct answer, ignoring the set order you see in the build page. I'm not sure why that is since you have the ability to shuffle answers and questions from the build settings page of the New quiz. This seems like it might be a limitation or something with that type of question for New Quizzes. -Colton

Thank you!

Update: Canvas reports the randomization is intended behavior and you should circumvent it by using the Word Bank option instead of Dropdowns (don't really see how to control the order of the Word Bank options either, though).

As promised, I'm back with an update. I hope to catch you before you are off on break, so that you can enjoy your time more fully. We are allowing an extension to the timeline for Classic Quiz usage through the end of June 2024. However that isn't the only adjustment we've made. You can read the full details here. Thank you for your candid openness. I hope you will see that we are taking this feedback into account as we've made changes to the transition timeline and supporting documents. Also, many made note of migration and partial points on matching questions being a big barrier. Both of these are coming to Beta on December 22nd. You can read about migration here (which includes bulk migration and question banks) and partial points for matching here. Context is always critical to us as well, so as the context has changed once these timeline adjustments have been made, we are closing this thread for comment. I do still want to hear from you and how what we're doing impacts your job. Please add any new comments to the new discussion.
