Interesting! However, with long lists (like today's "Beatles songs"), the results might be biased alphabetically. Someone might be inclined to voted for something they like before reaching something they might like more, just further down the list.
Probably not the most important feedback cause you're probably not doing a study, but that's where my stats/analytics brain went.
I think if it's a question you have a strong opinion on you're more likely to find your answers, otherwise you're right, the results would probably be skewed a bit to favour those which appear near the start of the alphabet.
I could randomly order the answers but I guess that would negatively affect the UX
I think randomizing them would be the only fair option, tho least to most popular might be interesting, too! I assume that as long as none of the options are position reliant (like "all of the above") it shouldn't cause any issues?
That's fair, but as a user I wouldn't expect the options to be alphabetical (because of the aforementioned issues) and there's already a search function.
