# Dropdown List

A drop down list allows the respondent to select one answer among the [selectable answers](https://docs.ngsurvey.com/form-management/form-designer/answers/answer-types/selection-answers) of your question. All [Selectable answers](https://docs.ngsurvey.com/form-management/form-designer/answers/answer-types/selection-answers) will be displayed as a list.

Any non selectable [answers](https://docs.ngsurvey.com/form-management/form-designer/answers/answer-types) of your question like for example a field will be displayed outside right after the list.
{% endhint %}

## 📜 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](https://docs.ngsurvey.com/form-management/form-designer/questions/question-properties) page, this sort order will be applied independently for each language.
