Survey Design | Usability Issues

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of designing a survey for work. The survey consists of
45 questions to be conducted online using a the Checkbox tool (
http://www.checkbox.com/ which seems to be down at the moment).

Because it is a lengthy survey, I am worried about a couple of things:
1. Does the number of question per page matter? If so what is the average
number of questions a participant should answer per page before they lose
patience?
2. Alternatively, what is the maximum number of pages a survey should have?
3.

Age vs Date of Birth in sign up form

Hi all,
The site we're doing is a contest users enter and submit photos. It
requires users to be over 18, or if they are between 14 - 17 they
have to go through a consent flow.

I got a question from a designer about what would be better in terms
of UX for the sign up form - asking the user for:
- their age with a text input /or select, OR
- their date of birth, with 3 select fields [day, month, year]

Just wanted to get some input about your experience with this.

Indicating secondary and tertiary sort order

Hello,

In table views (grids), our CRM web app indicates the column that provides the sorting order by inserting a little A-z or Z-a icon. The app remembers the columns that provide the secondary and tertiary sorting order but does not indicate them in any way on the interface. When designing the interface, we took it as a deliberate decision.

Now we have a few users who want to see which columns provide the secondary and tertiary sorting order. I looked through the pattern libraries but did not find anything. I also searched the web.

So far, I have these options:
