Aku,

Random shuffle was already discussed here several times. 
The function below does the trick. jiri

function shuffle(sequence s)
    object temp
    integer j

    for i = length(s) to 2 by -1 do
        j = rand(i)
        temp = s[j]
        s[j] = s[i]
        s[i] = temp
    end for
    return s
end function
