When randomizing answer options, you will generally want to keep the Other - Write In option at the bottom of the list.
Setup Instructions
- Edit the question.
- Scroll to the answer option you wish to exclude and click the pencil icon to edit.
- Select Yes under Fixed Position.
- Click Done and Save Question.
Compatibility
Setting an answer option as fixed, fixes its location (use in combination with Randomize Answers, Randomize Row Order, and Randomize Columns found in the Answers section of the question editor)
Compatible Question Types:
- Radio Buttons
- Checkboxes
- Textbox List
- Dropdown Menu
- Rating (Likert Scale)
- Drag & Drop Ranking
- Ranking Grid
- Continuous Sum
- Rows and columns in Grid questions (including Radio Button Grids, Checkbox Grids, Dropdown Menu Grids and Textbox Grids)
If you are piping answer options into a question that contains existing answer options, such as Not Applicable, use the fixed setting on the existing answer to make sure that the piped items appear above the existing answer option.
If you are piping options into column headers of a grid question and the columns are set to be randomized, the Fixed Special Setting for the columns is not compatible.

@Evarga: Thank you for your question!
I'm sorry for the trouble! I have since added a compatibility section to this article to highlight the question types that are compatible with the fixed setting.
The Ranking Grid is one of these questions but I will note that the setting is currently unavailable. Our Engineering team has been made aware of this issue, but in the meantime, our Support team may be able to offer a workaround:

Does fixing the position of "Other" work for the "Ranking Grid" question type? I don't see the "Fixed Position" option for "Ranking Grid".
