Can separate out your change handler code? Something like this:

$('#type_rank_field').on('change',function(){
    handleChange($(this));
});

function handleChange(elem, callback) {
    var id = elem.children('option:selected').attr('id');
    var id_edited = get_id_from_id(id);
    $.post('ajax/load_questions_of_rank.ajax.php',{id: id_edited},function(data){
        //alert(data);
        $('#rank_fields').html(data);
        if (typeof callback === "function") {
            callback(data);
        }
    });
};

Then instead of triggering the change you can just call handleChange passing a callback to execute when the AJAX call is complete:

handleChange($("#type_rank_field"), function(data) {
    $('#quest_'+questions[i].split('|')[1])
        .children('option[value="'+questions[i].split('|')[0]+'"]')
        .attr('selected',true);
});
