What is the random order generator?
It's an online list shuffler: paste any list (names, tasks, songs, teams) one item per line, hit Shuffle and the tool returns the same list in a completely random order, numbered and ready to copy. Every shuffle is different, and you can repeat as many times as you like.
It's the digital replacement for "write names on paper slips and pull them from a cup" — but in two seconds, and with no arguments about who was holding the cup.
When to use it?
- Speaking order: in class or at work, let chance decide who presents first.
- Game turns: the starting order of a championship or a board game night.
- Chore assignment: shuffle the chores and hand them out in order.
- DIY secret santa: shuffle the names and everyone gifts the next person on the list.
- Waitlists and priorities: when there's no better criterion, random is the fairest one.
How does it work?
The list is shuffled with the Fisher-Yates algorithm, the mathematical standard for mixing: it guarantees every possible ordering has exactly the same probability, favoring neither the first item nor the last. The randomness comes from your browser's random generator, and your list never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is the order truly random?
Yes. It uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm with the browser's random generator: every possible ordering has the same probability.
How many items can I shuffle?
Hasta 200 líneas: clases enteras, listas de tareas, playlists o el orden de un torneo.
Can I copy the result?
Yes, the Copy button gives you the numbered list as plain text, ready to paste into WhatsApp, an email or a document.
Is my list stored?
No. Everything happens in your browser and nothing is sent to our servers.
How is this different from the name picker?
The name picker chooses a single winner; random order sorts the whole list. If you need "who goes first, second and third", this is your tool.
