Anyway, internally devotee uses numbers starting at 1 for the ranking as well as the options on the ballot. I am not personally interested in changing any one of these defaults -- I don't think the ballot is confusing enough to warrant the expenditure of effort to refactor it in this fashion. > Could it be permitted rearrange the entries on the ballot ?

Changing the line itself, beyond adding a numerical rank (base36 number, that is) in between the square brackets will invalidate the ballot. manoj -- Anger is momentary madness.
