I have installed this on phpBB 3.1.6.
Enabled it in 'manage extensions'. That worked fine.
Now I want to configure it (add questions) and cannot find any way to do so.
No questions appear in the user registration panel either. Still has the compromised default captcha image.
Where and how do I configure this. There are no instructions in the install package and cannot find any here either.

Re: How to configure and enable
Ok, found the configuration under 'board configuration > spambot countermeasures' in the admin panel.
I have configured this, but whilst the questions are remembered and stored in the database, selecting the sortables option as the installed plugin does not get remembered. Each time I open this configuration it has defaulted back to the 'simple image' as the installed plugin. Not only that, but the sortables questions also do not appear in the user registration form, just the default simple image.

Re: How to configure and enable
The configuration in phpBB is suboptimal, you need to select Sortables Captcha as default plugin and click on submit (if you click on Configure you go to the configuration but Sortables is not set as default captcha unfortunately).

Re: How to configure and enable
Thank you for such a quick response, Derky. I needed this because our forum is being flooded by spam registrations that have hacked the image-based captcha.
I have now got it working.
However the lists did not initially display in the user registration panel, just the h3 title. Solved that problem by removing the coding: style="display:none"; from the captcha_sortables.html file, line 43. That then enabled the list to be displayed. However, the dragging of the items did not work. Mouse button and dragging defines, not moves the items. Incidently I am using the RocketTheme Ambrosia template which is supposedly Prosilver-based.
I have now taken the javascript code totally out of the html file and resorted to the non-java check-box method, which works fine.
Once again a very big thank you.

Re: How to configure and enable
That problem is likely caused by including jQuery twice.

Re: How to configure and enable
phpBB 3.2.7 // php 5.6.40 (phpBB 3.2.7 will not launch when using php 7.3.17)
Enabled Sortables Captcha 2.0.1 in "manage extensions".
Going to ACP>General>Spambot countermeasures is where the issue is... Sortables Captcha does not appear in the "Installed Plugins" dropdown.
Any thoughts.
Thank you
