# Answer sorting problem

 * Hi everyone,
 * I do have a problem with answer sorting: I made a quiz where every question has
   three answers, let’s say a1,a2,a3. I changed it to a random sorting and that 
   gave me a2,a1,a3 f.ex., changing every refresh (yes, I excluded the URL from 
   cache, that works fine). However, when I deactivate the random sorting via the
   checkbox, the default sorting doesn’t change back to a1,a2,a3, but to a2,a1,a3.
   Refreshing the page, emptying the cache etc. doesn’t change that. It just stays
   that way forever. The sorting of the answers in the backend didn’t change, just
   in the frontend. Can you help me with this issue?
 * Best regards!

 * Dear [@swisspro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swisspro/),
 * Thanks for the topic.
 * Please try deactivating the caching plugin and checking again. Also, please clear
   your server caches.
 * If this does not resolve the issue, please provide us with the following information:
    1. The link to where the following quiz is located
    2. Your version of the Quiz Maker plugin
 * Looking forward to hearing how this goes for you.
 * Thank you.

 * Dear Jasmine
 * Thank you for your answer. I tested these two steps in advance already, without
   any success. The Quiz Maker plugin version is 6.7.0.60.
 * Here is the link to the quizzes (bottom of the page, caching plugin is not active
   at the moment): [https://www.pilzmesser.ch/teilpruefung-5-pilzartenerkennung/](https://www.pilzmesser.ch/teilpruefung-5-pilzartenerkennung/)
   All 8 are identical since I duplicated the initial one. Only the questions are
   different of course. Quiz 3 works like a charm, however, quiz 1 and 2 don’t. 
   When I take a question of quiz 1 to quiz 3, the answers of that single question
   are not in order, the other questions of quiz 3 stay correct. Very strange.
 * Best regards.
