Random Sort

[Dennis Tucker]

There are times when I want to mix up a table order-wise. It would be a nice feature for Excel to have a sort method that would randomize the record set in a table.

What do you guys think about this?

Would not sorting on a helper column of random numbers not achieve what
you want?

Yes. But I think it would be sweet if Excel offered this feature instead of
building a column of random numbers then sorting the table by that column.
