Based on Thomas Robb's list of grading options, here is my list of grading options:

  1. exact answer = start counting points with first item correctly ordered and stop counting as soon as item is not correctly ordered;
  2. relative = count one point for each pair of consecutively ordered items (shown as pipe character | in attached example) + count one more point if first and last items are in place;
  3. absolute = this is more like counting the points in a matching exercise, it counts items individually matched to their correct order; item sequences are not taken into account.

Grading option #2 is my preferred option for an activity of re-ordering jumbled words or phrases. It may be the most difficult to program.

Obviously, some real-world examples should be provided so that the choice of grading option makes more sense.

Selecting several items from a dropdown list such as the categories list in the Moodle Glossary is done exactly the same as multi-selecting items in any dropdown list in Windows.
Click on the first item you want to select, then press control as you click on the second item for selection, etc.
