By clicking on "Show questions" button, a list of questions to be edited appears. The teacher can **remove** or **re-edit** (change) any of the questions from the list by clicking on the corresponding icons. In the case of unique or multiple choice answer, you are also allowed to choose whether to **shuffle** the order of the answers.
By default, the questions are listed in alphabetical order by the stem. They can also be sorted by the number of times they have been answered, and by the mean score. The latter criterion allows the teacher to identify the difficulty of the questions or possible errors in the stem or the answers. For the average score, SWAD stored for each question the total score and the number of times it has been answered.
