A proper shuffle

The list is shuffled with the Fisher–Yates algorithm, which makes every possible ordering exactly as likely as every other one. Sorting by a random key — the trick most spreadsheets use — does not.

Each swap draws from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, sampled without the rounding bias a plain remainder introduces.

Drawing a short list out of a long one

Set Keep only the first to a number and you get that many items, chosen at random and in a random order — a shortlist rather than a full reordering.

Copy the order puts the result on your clipboard, numbered or plain, ready to paste into a message.
