Omnioutliner random sort

Question

Is there a way to sort my OmniOutliner columns by a random value for something like picking students in your class at random for groups?

I need to be able to sort the rows in a random order. Generally in Excel this is done by using the Rand function in the cells of a row and sorting by that row. — basheps, Aug 08 '11 at 04:44

To get a random number, use rand() (as seen here). Then sort by the random numbers.

I don't see how to use the rand(), the link did not give any information. Where do I use it. In the cell? – basheps Aug 08 '11 at 10:54
Yes. Its like a regular function. – soandos Aug 08 '11 at 12:00
I don't see how to use it. I've put it into the cell but it does not give back a value like in Excel. Can you elaborate? – basheps Aug 08 '11 at 14:07
