I was wondering, now that you're in midst of refactoring pLyX scripts,
whether you could easily come up with a Python script that could
achieve such randomized selection? Unfortunately my knowledge of
Python tends to zero, so I cannot quite hope to do this myself. I
don't actually need it now, but I'm curious if this can be done.
Please let me know,

Since it is possible to sort a list, it should be straightforward. I
shall put it on my to-do list (which has a very random component to its
ordering).

In fact, now done as part of the pLyX system using the list sorting
script. If your questionnaire is in the form of a two-level list,
questions at the top level, multi-choice answers at the sub-level, then,
in the pLyX way, placing a ".sort list" custom inset just before the
list with the sort specification "2r" in it ("2" for the sub-level, "r"
for random) and clicking the pLyX buttons will randomise each sub-level
list of potential answers. If the list had some sub-sub-level
multi-choice answers, the sort spec. "2r3r" would do the trick. I'll try
to update the documentation today and get it to you, Liviu, for the
Dropbox repository later today.
