Great tip Cearbhall, thanks. I had thought that ranking questions were not
accessible, even in Microsoft Forms, so am going to play around with this.
On a related note, if anyone is needing to send out a survey or anything, I
would highly recommend using Microsoft Forms. As creator of the form, as well
as recipient, I find it great and far better than the likes of Survey Monkey. I
haven’t done much with Google Forms to date, but would Hope it’s good and
accessible too.

Hi,
Have you ever found yourself struggling to arrange a series of choices in
order of your preference in an application form or in a survey form? I
found it extremely difficult to do and difficult to find a solution.
The key term is “Ranking Question”.
The problem is knowing how to work with a Ranking Question using a screen
reader.
I found the following link contains useful guidance:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-a-screen-reader-to-respond-to-form-or-quiz-questions-in-microsoft-forms-adae6d1c-33c8-465b-8066-eb14991a98cb
This applies to all Ranking Questions that use the same technology as that
in the Microsoft Survey described above. The following is extracted from
that link with the addition of some of my own comments:
In both Edge and Chrome:
It is not necessary to change from browse mode:
For ranking questions, use the Tab key or Shift+Tab to browse the elements
in the list. You hear the current ranking of the element, its name, and
"Move option up, move option down."
To move an element up in the ranking, press the Tab key until you hear "Move
option up," and then press Enter once for each position you want to move the
element by.
To move an element down in the ranking, press the Tab key until you hear
"Move option down," and then press Enter once for each position you want to
move the element by.

Notes:
This is not so successful with Firefox where it is difficult to find the
options to rank and then difficult to set the move up or move down mode.
After managing to activate the dialog, Firefox Confirms the position of the
selection in the hierarchy by displaying the position number, for example:
“2 of 4”, “3 of 4”, “4 of 4” as the selection moves step by step downward in
the list.
This is not available in Chrome or Edge where frequent tabbing back and
forth is needed to be clear on the newly ranked position.
All the best,
Cearbhall
