Prioritized poll response

Title:
Prioritized poll response

Area:
Polls

Summary:
It'd be nice to have a poll style available that lets you prioritize or order your response.

Description:
I know this is possible, because the company I work for uses it in their online training tests: a poll where the first box you click becomes "1", and the second box you click becomes "2", and so on. With a "reset" option in case you mess up or change your mind before hitting the "submit" button.

I wouldn't know the first thing about how to implement it, I'm afraid. But I can see a number of uses for it, as a finer-tuned alternative to multiple tick-boxes, where if people agree with multiple options on the poll they can indicate that they agree most strongly with some options over others, for instance.

Poll #4422 Prioritized poll response
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 41

What happens if someone agrees with multiple options equally?
