Sort activities consist of one or more sort item elements, a check answer button, and a feedback element. The goal of this activity is to arrange the sort items in the correct order, as determined by the <Item Index> of the sort items, taking into account the <Cyclic> and <Correct Order> settings of the activity. Sort items are always shuffled at run-time.
To insert a sort activity, use Interactions > Sort. The sort activity can be inserted in its default design, for full customization, or as an interactive set.

Behavior |

| Mode | Select | Determines the behavior of sort items as they are rearranged. push – Items are pushed into new positions to make room for the dragged item. swap – The dragged item is swapped with the one it’s dropped on, while all other items remain in place. |
| Cyclic | Checkbox | When on, the activity is considered as correct when the items are put in the right order, regardless of each item’s individual position. |
| Correct Order | Select | Determines whether the activity is considered correct only in its normal order, or if it is bidirectional, meaning that ordering items in the reverse order is also considered as a correct answer. |
