Having the alphabetization include articles like “the” is counterintuitive. Also, why do you ask for constructive criticism, etc. at the beginning? It doesn’t describe the quiz.

The site’s quiz editor does not provide a mechanism to sort by “answers-but-exclude-initial-articles,” and the controls to manually re-order quiz questions do not work on mobile devices … the only type of device available to me for a long time.

I’m sorry the limitations of the site’s quiz editor caused you distress.
