I have a list of three words that I need to be randomly sorted. To start with, 
the first word is the correct answer to a question. I want to re-order the list 
so that the correct answer may be the second or third word, and not necessarily 
the first. How can I do this successfully every time? The docs give an example 
like this:

        sort lines of myVar by random(the number of lines of myVar)

But this only seems to work successfully one time. After that, the list is 
always set so the first word is the correct answer. So then I tried randomly 
setting the randomSeed value, since this value is supposed to affect the 
random() function and the any keyword, but this didn't seem to make much 
difference except to change it so either the second or third word is *always* 
the right answer. I need it to be more mixed up than that.

So does anyone have a good way to do this?

Thanks,
Chris
