Hi devs. 

There is no random and shuffle order for list and search. 

In list module we have final order (random, shuffle ... ), but it will be greate to have it on search type and menu items (list/search).

Do you have plans to update it?

Random and shuffle order for list and search would be great addition to Seblod, especially for a directory charging a set fee for posting entries. It doesn’t seem fair to charge the same fee for a listing that starts with the letter A from one that starts with letter Z, as A will always be first in A-Z order.

I would be interested in this feature.

Hello,

Generally when you wish to use random or shuffle it's not to display a complete list but a defined set of items.

That's why you can do this by a module.

Please explain us in which case you need this feature directly on a list and by the SEBLOD module list.

Best Regards.

Hi Bes,

I am building a directory where clients can pay to have their business listed. When a visitor does a search for ‘care homes in London’ for example, the search might display 300 paid listings on the template. The random function means that I can explain to clients that although they all pay the same fee to have their business listed, the search function randomises the order they appear, even if I split the listings into more than one page. This would make it fair for everyone.

If I use the module, I would have one page with 300 listings, plus I would need to find a way to hide the listings that show on the template so they don’t repeat. (see image for example)

Hope that makes sense.
