Being able to make "Other" not always the last response in a multiple choice question

It would be useful if the "Other" response in a multiple choice question does not always have to be the last answer. For one question I designed, I wanted to put it as the first response, because this particular question actually expected that people would be able to type the answer better than picking a category. Most of the time, "Other" is the last response, but the versatility of question design would improve if "Other"-like responses could be placed anywhere among the choices (or maybe just in the first or last spot)?

This is possible, so I closed this one.

This is possible. You can manually add an "Other" option to your list of answers, and place it anywhere in the order of answers. Also, remember you can remove the other option from the mean calculation in the real time summary report by going to the "configure analytics" option.

Thanks.

Thank you for the explanation, I will try to do it, but earlier I could not, and someone in a tech support chat told me this was not possible. But I'll give it another shot. Thanks.
