Is there a way that images can be added for the sorting activity, instead of just text? Or perhaps it is something that can be included in a future release?
And again just bumping up this feedback request - we use sorting activities a lot in our learning but currently we are having to use Storyline blocks which is an inelegant workaround, and take slonger to build and implement then if we could simply use the built in sorting activity in Rise.
It also makes doing updates harder - we have people in our team that have licences for Rise but don't use Storyline as development isn't their full time role and Storyline has a higher learning curve then Rise does. Each time we have to perform updates to a Storyline element in a rise module we have to call in one of the specialist learning developers to do the work and re-export it back into the learning (rather than simply having the Rise user do a quick edit as they can with the built in interactions).
I thought I'd include the above for content as this request isn't just about the aesthetics of the activity, but also about making it easier to keep the modules updated.
I'm not sure if this has been tried or is even a suitable solution, but I have created a kind of work-around to add images to the sorting interaction in Rise.
Not sure if this will work as a scorm as I haven't tested on an LMS as yet, but it seems to work as a web export.
Just creating another eLearning package where sorting images would be an ideal exercise. Most of the sorting exercises I have used would have been far better as images. Come on Articulate, this is such a basic request.
I made an attempt at recreating the sorting interaction in Rise in Storyline for pictures. I was working with a dietary restriction interaction so the pictures are of food. You can edit the linked pictures and change the accent color as needed in the illustrator file. The Storyline is close to the same but there are some differences. I couldn't simulate the card slide out on drop correct so I used a zoom disappear. I also couldn't simulate the incorrect "shake" to occur at the drop location. It resets to the original location then shakes but I think it has the desired effect. Let me know if you find a sleeker way to do this or if anything isn't working for you. Thanks.
Yet again I am creating a package where images would be a far greater learning tool in a sorting exercise than just plain words. The instance I have encountered so far when images would be better far outnumbered when they wouldn't.
Three years and this isn't a priority yet? Hmm... won't you all join me in submitting a feature request? The more the merrier, it seems. Otherwise, it will never get done! (I agree that being able to add audio and/or images with or without text would make the sorting activity much more useful.)

+1 for me with this request and also increase the character count.
I concur... very much wishing I could add images to the sorting activity for a current project.

I agree! I'm so surprised this isn't a core feature of the sorting tool. I definitely +1 the calls to add this feature as soon as possible!
Agreed. I'd like to cast my vote for this as well.
Are there any recommendations of other features that may be a substitute?

Adding my voice. I would have thought that images were more appropriate for a sorting exercise than text!
I would also find this enhancement quite useful.

Hi,
I made an attempt at recreating the sorting interaction in Rise in Storyline for pictures. I was working with a dietary restriction interaction so the pictures are of food. You can edit the linked pictures and change the accent color as needed in the illustrator file. The Storyline is close to the same but there are some differences. I couldn't simulate the card slide out on drop correct so I used a zoom disappear. I also couldn't simulate the incorrect "shake" to occur at the drop location. It resets to the original location then shakes but I think it has the desired effect. Let me know if you find a sleeker way to do this or if anything isn't working for you. Thanks.
Thanks so much for sharing this template file, Martin!
My pleasure. Hope it helps.

Hi Chris! Thanks for following up with this feature! No updates just yet, but we'll let you know if we make any changes to that.
For now, Martin has shared this template you can use for Storyline and insert as an SL Block in Rise 360.

...+1 for this feature!
Carmen, may I ask how you acheived this? It's exactly what I need for my project but can't seem to figure out how you got to it. Thanks!
Any movement on this? Seems like low-hanging fruit with a big impact!
Thanks for following up! We'll update this thread once we make changes that will help!
This has been requested now for years! It doesn't look like it will happen. Even using my project palette, it just looks drab.
~4 years later, this would still be an excellent addition! It would be nice to be able to do this outside of a Storyline block.
I would also like to see the feature request be included in the very near future...
Far too early yet, John. It has only been 4 years.
Agree. How is this not a thing? Guess we'll be doing a Storyline block!
I'd also like to chime in to continue this request! I see it has been a topic for over four years, and would really love to see this feature added.
