Random sort order for products
« on: March 07, 2012, 01:25:34 PM »
MySQL allows for a random order of items..  It would be nice if we could have a sort by that uses "ORDER BY RAND()" for product category pages so that it shows a random listing.

Where exactly do you suggest to have that?
Any downside on performance of SQL with larger sets?

Howdy!

I'd like to see it as an option in the latest products maybe with some weighting mechanic or at the very least in a category view.

Right now the category view has a sort drop down with a number of options.. it would be trivial to add the random option.. ( I already did it on mine to see if I could.. )
