## 📜️ Sort order

The default sort order of the list is the display order of your answers, this may be an issue in multi-language surveys where label text can be different from one language to another. In such a case you can set a custom sort order for the list in your [question properties](/form-management/form-designer/questions/question-properties.md) page, this sort order will be applied independently for each language.
