Yes. Turn on shuffling answer options in the session settings, and each student sees the options of every multiple choice question and poll in a different order. Rating scales keep their order, so they still read from low to high.

Ordering questions always appear shuffled, because putting the items in order is the question.

The order of the questions themselves isn’t shuffled.
