Allows you to insert randomized lists into your notes, e.g. for use in multiple choice card types.
DOCUMENTATION
IMPORTANT: This add-on requires a custom note type and complimentary add-on to work properly. Please consult the README for more information on setting things up. The add-on’s use is also detailed on that page.
The lists generated by this add-on should be compatible with Anki and AnkiDroid. I have not tested this with AnkiWeb or AnkiMobile.

Add-on Startup Failed. I copied and pasted the debug info. An update for this precious add on would be a game changer! Thank you for your efforts on this add-on. It has helped me a lot in the past!

Doesnt work with the newest version of Anki (2.1.65 Qt6)

Hi, this add-on is a brilliant idea!
I just have a compatibility problem. I followed the ReadMe and after installing the plugin, Anki Version 2.1.56 (07fd88dd) on macOS 12.6 throws at me this error at launch:
Error
An add-on you installed failed to load. If problems persist, please go to the Tools>Add-ons menu, and disable or delete the add-on.

Really useful, works on my Anki 2.40

I followed the instructions and it works on my Anki Version 2.1.35 (84dcaa86)

Unfortunately, not working with 2.1.43 :(

It works fine so far. And, most importantly it works in both Anki Desktop and AnkiDroid. Thanks!
Version 2.1.38 (355e4cd5)
Update: I updated Anki to 2.1.43 and I think something has broken. When the answer is shown, the order in the list unexpectedly changes now.

awesome addon, thanks a lot!

I’m still new to Anki, and I don’t know if this will break things, but I was able to change the yellow highlighting to a different color by going into Tools -> Add-ons -> View Files and search for “1280092568” which is the Insert Randomized Lists (multiple choice) Add on. Then I went to the editor_random_list.py file and used a python editor to change the line that said “background-color: yellow;” to “background-color: royalblue;”. After restarting Anki, the yellow color was now a royal blue col

In night mode how do you make the yellow a different color, its so hard to see? Also wouldn’t it be easier to just upload a card type along with the add on?
👍 2020-08-20
Works great.

This is very nice, but I was wondering if there was a way to stop the question list from reordering when you click Show Answer.
Also, any way to change the UL to an OL (a. b. c. etc) ?
In any case, this is great and something I’ve been wanting to try out for a long time.
👍 2020-07-05
This is extremely useful to not learn the order, but the content of items in multiple choice. The only problem I have is the yellow highlight in the edit window. It is unreadable with the white text in dark mode :(
Is there any way to change the colour?

This is very useful.

Just saw the guy who downvoted because “Cookie Monster breaks Zoom 2.1”. So take my upvote to balance. Keep up your wonderful work, you are great! Comment from author Hey, this means a lot! Thank you very much!

Works exactly as described. Very useful when you’re reviewing a small group of questions and need the shuffling, so you’re not just memorizing the position of the correct answer.

This addon has become essential in the way I memorize. For example, I make cloze cards like this:
Spironolactone
-
Mechanism: {{c1::blabla}}
-
Use: {{c1::blabla}}
-
Adverse effects: {{c1::blabla}}
-
Contraindications: {{c1::blabla}}
This addon lets me randomize each of those cloze bullet points so they won’t appear in the same order every time. Thanks so much.

Be careful, Cookie Monster breaks Zoom 2.1. Comment from author Alright, that’s good to know. So how about you report that on the respective pages for Cookie Monster and/or Zoom 2.1 instead of down-voting an add-on that is only marginally associated with them? I mean, do you expect me to account and test for every imaginable combination of third-party add-ons? I am neither the author of Cookie Monster, nor Zoom 2.1, so there is literally nothing I can do here. Also, how about reading that “SUPP

To everybody: Be cautious. Use it only selectively, inasmuch as memorization is easy when it always works in the same way, like running the same track through a labyrinth: https://www.supermemo.com/en/archives1990-2015/articles/20rules
