How about this:

     >> random [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
     == [8 9 3 4 2 1 7 6 0 5]

Of course, there's a 1 in 3628800 chance that a random arrangement
of ten values will actually be in order!  ;-)

If you really mean *NOT* sorted (and your values are distinct), but
don't care about randomness, then

    reverse sort foo

will make sure that FOO is _not_ sorted in ascending order.

Can you provide a little more detail on your requirements?
