Hi, Chris.
I suggest you try this:
sort lines of myVar by _random( the number of lines in myVar, each )
with this:
private function _random pUpperLimit -- note: ignore other parameters
return random( pUpperLimit )
end _random
In my test with a million iterations each of the six combinations had almost
exactly its fair share. Does that work for you?
