Slido is gradually rolling out a new user interface. If the below steps and visuals match what you are seeing within your account, then you are using the old interface and this article is for you. If not, please see this version.
You can sort audience questions according to their popularity, chronological order, or the importance you give them. The options vary depending on where the Q&A is displayed.
In this article:

In Present mode, you can sort audience questions by popular, recent, oldest, or starred questions.

In Admin mode, you can sort questions by popular, recent, oldest, starred, or labelled questions.
To change the order of questions in Admin mode:

You can use Labels to filter for specific questions.

Change the order of audience questions in Participant mode
By default, questions on participants’ devices are ordered by the number of upvotes.
As a Slido admin, you can change the default order of questions on participant devices to make recent questions appear at the top:
- Go to Settings
- Select Slido Labs
- Enable Recent questions by default
Keep in mind that even with this setting, participants can change how questions are displayed on their devices by sorting for popular or recent questions.
The Oldest and Starred sorting options are only available for Admin and Present modes.
