[jQuery] Problem with Cycle plugin using random and previous

[JonDetroit]

[2nd post attempt]

I've come across a problem with Mike Alsup's very good Cycle plug-in.
This occurs when using both the random feature and a previous link.
Previous will go to the previous item as it is ordered in the HTML,
regardless of what appeared previously to the user in the random
order.

For example, if I have elements to be cycled which appear in the page
code in this order:

A, B, C

But when randomized appear to the user in this order:

A, C, B

Then, if the user clicks the Previous link with B showing, the cycle
will go to A, not C as the user would expect.

Is there any way to achieve the expected behavior?

Many thanks,
Jon
