Click to expand...

If you want animation to appear in an order that is not pre-determined
(such as based on audience responses), you want Trigger Animations.
However, while this could be done to bring in the responses in the order
you want, they will still be in the original position. That is, with
some work you can get it so the first bullet appears then the 4th, then
the 2nd, then the 3rd, but once they are all there, they'll still be in
order: 1st, 2nd, 34d, 4th.
