Hello forums,

I have created a program using e-prime 2.0 that shows participants a set of 10 images one at a time in a random order.  I used a nested list and the random option from the sequencing drop-down menu, and it works perfectly.  Each image is loaded from the file location and is presented randomly.  However at the end of the experiment I am hoping to be able to show the participants smaller versions of all 10 images (on the same screen) with them labelled 1-10, in the same order they originally saw them in.  The reason being is there is a manipulation that we are checking for and if they failed the manipulation, we want to know which image they failed it on.  The order is important because we may be able to use the data - if the participant failed the manipulation on the 10th image - for the other nine images.  

I have no idea if this is even possible and I would also like to add that my extent of e-prime knowledge extends to only the point-and-click so far.  I am starting to learn manual coding, but the learning curve there is much steeper than just the point and click.  Any help would be appreciated.  

Thanks,
Chad

Chad,

Very possible, in fact several years ago with help from PST Support I
did something very like this using ExplicitOrder, see that topic in
the E-Basic Help facility.
