Would you like to randomly order options in your form fields? Displaying Multiple Choice, Checkboxes, and other field options in random order each time your form loads can help to avoid order bias and collect more reliable data.

Before we get started, you’ll need to [create a new form](https://wpforms.com/docs/creating-first-form/ "Creating Your First Form") or edit an existing one.

After opening the form builder, add either a **Checkboxes** or **Multiple Choice** field. Then, click on it to open its Field Options panel.

Under the **General** tab of the Field Options panel, you can adjust the field’s label and choices based on the data you’d like to collect.

Once your field choices are set up, click on the **Advanced** tab. Here, toggle on the **Randomize Choices** option.

That’s it! You can now randomly order Checkboxes and Multiple Choice options in your forms.
