Martin,

 Have you looked at
 http://proto.layer51.com/l.aspx?p=3

 There are about 10 custom methods of "shuffle-like".

 I haven't tested them for performance though :-).

> Hi,
> 
> I have an array with up to 10000 elements. These elements are sorted of
> some kind and I need to reorganize the elements so that their positions
> becomes absolutely random.
> 
> I guess my best approach would be to assign my own "sort" function to
> the Array.sort() method which did nothing but return -1,0 or 1 randomly,
> but I guess it would be necessary to "sort" the array many times in
> order to make it truly random and that would take a lot of CPU power
> with that many elements.
> 
> Is there a better way to do this from a performance point of view? 
> 
> Thanks in advance.
