How can I ask a survey user to rank several options from their 1st choice to their last choice?

 Ranking five items in terms of preference, for exampl

It looks like your question is truncated in the subject line. I understand that you want to rank the options available on the form. Looking at your requirement, I think the Orderable list widget works form you.

Also, you may consider adding an Input table to the field with the options in separate rows so that the user can rank them accordingly.

Please give it a try and let us know if you need any further assistance. We will be happy to help.
