Matrix Ordering

Matrix ordering items contain a grid in which elements are in rows, and the sequence numbers are column headers. In braille, elements are lettered, and there are corresponding letters at the intersections of rows and columns to simplify responding with a braillewriter. Users enter a sequence number and a letter for each element to indicate the correct order of events. This arrangement is different from the layout of other braille matrix item types because the text elements must be placed in rows.

Matrix items are also accessible with audio and switches in the online format and can also be represented in paper-and-pencil and optical scan formats.
