Anki Issue.pptx Hi everyone. I'm writing seeking assistance with a very specific issue using this Add-on. Is my first time using Anki, and this is the first add-on that I use ever:

When trying to create my flashcards using this add-on I'm having the issue that it's impossible to have the answers in a fixed way, you know, to have them not randomized. This is especially irritating because there are some questions that are multiple-choice with one single answer that can have incorporated the options "All of the above" or "None of the above", or the case in which one of the options implies more than one answer. For example:

Question 1: Which of the following is a unifying characteristic of life? a- Ability to reproduce b- Ability to develop c- Ability to utilize energy d- The presence of cells e- All of the above f- None of the above

Obviously, the correct answer is e- All of the above.

Question 2: Which of the following molecules can be dissolved in water? a- sugar b- salt c- cholesterol d- A and B e- All of the above f- None of the above

The correct answer is d- A and B.

My questions here are: 1) In this kind of questions and variants, what I can do to ALWAYS have the answer options "All of the above" and "None of the above" at the end of the answer options, no matter how randomized is the rest, in every single flashcard that has to consider this option of answers? 2) I'm also having issues settling in a fixed way the answer options as a- or b- or c- or d- or e- in the order that I'm setting? Because with every review of the flashcard, this order changes no matter what I do, and also when creating new flashcards with similar characteristics I have the same issue, that the options are just disorganized or randomized, no matter how many times I repeat the flashcard from scratch. Also, if I set the options in the suggested order it appears as I want for the first time, but when I try to edit the option and putting a- b- c- d- e- to each one of the options, everything goes upside down 3) How to have all the answer options randomized BUT leaving the options "All of the above" and "None of the above" at the very end, and not at the top of the options which is what normally happens, no matter if the question has only four possible choices of answer, or five, or three, or whichever number of options?

Thank you so much for the help. Kind regards, Sergio

For this usage we could define a "magic" prefix which fixes the position that it had when editing the note (and all other options without a prefix are still shuffled).

This would be pretty easy to integrate I fathom (simply save position and text, shuffle the rest, fill positions accordingly). What about $FIXED$ or something like that :slightly_smiling_face: ? e.g. image

If there's still need for this feature I'd probably implement it.
