Some people may be objecting to the characterization of alphabetical
as random because they see "random" as "unpredictable" -- which
alphabetical certainly is not... as long as you know the name of
what you are looking for. That is why I said it was arbitrary,
which I think avoids the "random = unpredictable" problem.
You lost me on the distinction between arbitrary and unpredictable.
Otherwise, I'm there.
