Hi there, I opened up an issue on the SDAPS repo about allowing answer choices for a question to be displayed in a different order when using \choicemulticolitems or just multiple columns in the \begin{choicequestion} field in general.

My general idea was to be able to take an SDAPS form (which aligns answer choices for questions by row with multiple columns) and instead order them by column primarily. I tried manipulating the column amounts on \choiceitems, but I couldn't get the layout I wanted without changing the actual location of the answers within a single question. Even if I was able to manually change the ordering of the answer choices, it would affect the values each answer represents in the csv export of the my results after SDAPS recognition on a form, and they need to stay consistent with my system's backend in my project.

I've attached a tex file (in txt format since Github hates tex files) with the original ordering of the questions and my desired column-based layout after each of them. My hope is that there could be some option to choose whether to display answer choices by row or column.

This whole issue might just be me being ignorant about how the sdapsclassic class functions with LaTeX, but if it's not currently possible within SDAPS, I think it would be a great feature to improve customization and readability of forms.
