Here is another hack, but I'm sure I can win any prize like Sam did, isn't
it? :)
Use `publish_date` field as default sort, if you want want some kind of
order, you can control. My specific case was to shuffle all the product
position once in a while.
Here is my settings.py config for default sort
SHOP_PRODUCT_SORT_OPTIONS = (
> (u'Recently published', u'-publish_date'),
> (u'Recently added', u'-date_added'),
> (u'Highest rated', u'-rating_average'),
> (u'Least expensive', u'unit_price'),
> (u'Most expensive', u'-unit_price')
> )
And here is my product shuffle/randomization view procedure.
@user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_superuser)
> def clp_randomize_publish_date(request, category_id, delta_day):
> """"
> Shuffle/randomize the position of each product in the given category.
> Default sort order for products is publish_date, therefore picking
> random
> publish dates for products will change their initial position in
> category page.
> Parameters:
> - `category_id`: use 0, to perform action on every cartridge product
> in the system,
> otherwise specify exact category id.
> - `delta_day`: time delta in days, to establish the date range (now -
> delta_day) to now
> """
> now =
> datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=timezone.get_default_timezone())
> end = now - datetime.timedelta(days=int(delta_day))
> if int(category_id) > 0:
> category = get_object_or_404(Category, id=int(category_id))
> products = category.product_set.all()
> category_title = category.title
> else:
> products = Product.objects.all()
> category_title = "all"
> context = {
> "delta_day": delta_day,
> "now": now,
> "end": end,
> "product_count": len(products),
> "category_title": category_title,
> }
> if request.POST:
> for p in products:
> seed()
> random_date = now - datetime.timedelta(days=randint(1,
> int(delta_day)))
> p.publish_date = random_date
> p.save()
> context["done"] = True
> else:
> context["done"] = False
> return render(request,

Hope this might help someone.
