Depending on your definition of random, this may or may not be a randomized order. I'd say it's not. Also, if the sample is large, it's unfair to people who submit their image soon after the query is taken and cached, because they won't get a first view until after the entire cache has been used up. Which isn't to say this is a bad way to go, just make sure you understand the implications of doing things this way. And that's not to say that you (Ian) haven't, just that others who might look at this dicussion for ideas need to be aware that there are implications to be considered.
