Moving the order of questions in a matrix

Hello, hopefully someone can help me with my question.. 

I have created a matrix question, but I want to reorder the way they appear, for example: 

 The only way I can figure out how to do this is simply deleting / over-writing existing metrics so they appear on the order that I would like them to appear. However, this is time consuming and prone to error. Is there an easy way to drag rows into the desired order? 

Thank you for your help!

Hi @zoe robson Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a great weekend. You are correct that the only way to move around the options would be to delete/re-add them, which isn’t ideal. I’ll share this feedback with the product team. 

One suggestion I would make before doing this is to check out our article here on editing a form that has already collected responses so you can see how this might affect data you’ve already gathered.

Hi Liz 

Thank you for your reply - it would be good if this functionality could be built in one day.

Hi ​@Edo_Simeone I’m afraid we don’t have any updates to this at the moment, but if there are any, I’ll post them here!
