Random/Shuffle table?

Chris230291

Hello. I would like to have a button that shuffles the table order.
I know how to add a button that can change sorting but I have no idea how to shuffle.
I thought about a hidden column with a random int.
But I want to be able to keep pressing the button and get a random ordering each time without reassigning random ints first.

Thanks,
Chris

You could do something like this index column example and randomize it. The other option I can think of is to create an ordering plugin. You can look through these plugins to see if any spark some ideas. Also you can see a couple running examples here.

Maybe you can randomize whether the ordering plugin returns a -1, 1, or 0 to sort the table.

Maybe this thread will give some ideas about making a random sort order with an index column. Might be better than the plugin suggestion.

EDIT: You can hide the index column with columns.visible and still sort it.
