Okay I thought this was worked out but its still not working- I always end up losing the last two list items. Here is the console output from my print statements: This first list is printing i, a from this command SWAP myArray[i], myArray[a] 21 21 20 13 19 0 18 13 17 11

Hi! I can't reproduce your problem. Randomize with seed 12345, I got; From 0 to 9: 4 0 7 9 5 1 2 6 3 8 From 9 to 0: 4 2 7 8 3 0 6 9 1 5 Both correct. So maybe there is a bug in SWAP command with Gambas version... what are you using? With Gambas 2.10 it is working. Jussi P.S. Code I used to

Hi Jussi, NO, there is no bug, it's my mistake!! I listed the myArray values just after the SWAP instruction. But, as you can see it in a preceeding answer to jbskaggs, this is a bad idea because in the forward FOR NEXT loop case, these values could change any time. You don't make this error

I came up with a way to random sort listview. (Iuse this for random shuffling card slots on games) But it isnt efficient some pointers if you dont mind? I use two listviews one to sort from and one to sort to: I first copy all the listitems from list 1 to list 2 EXCEPT the key for listview2
