Hi, Chris.

I suggest you try this:

sort lines of myVar by _random( the number of lines in myVar, each )

with this:

private function _random pUpperLimit -- note:  ignore other parameters
    return random( pUpperLimit )
end _random

In my test with a million iterations each of the six combinations had almost exactly its fair share.  Does that work for you?
