Testing whether the rank ordering of items between two groups is significantly different
Putting this really simply, I will have data from two different groups of participants where they rank order the "moral worth" of a set of non-human animals. I want to be able to test whether the rank ordering between the two groups is significantly different.
Is there an appropriate test in JASP for this sort of analysis? A cursory look at different ways to test this leads me to state-trace analysis which might be too in depth for what I need (or maybe that is exactly right, just wanted to check if there was a simpler approach)

The complication here is that you have multiple people in each group. I think what you might need is multivariate ordinal logistic regression.

This is not implemented in JASP. However, a simpler analysis may be possible, see Chapter 4.2 (en 4.3) in the book "Statistical Methods for Ranking Data" by Alvo and Yu.
