Thanks to Mars Saxman, Joe Huber, Navdeep Bains, William Squires who all had excellent suggestions involving sorting classes, dictionaries, creative use of index.SortWith and shuffled sister index arrays. :) (To see the summary, view the thread: http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/realbasic-nug/2006-07/msg00298.html )
One other solution which is more of a hack than a solution is to make a single dimension array with your data sandwiched in a string delimited with a unique delimiter. Shuffle it then use the split function to either access the data or sort it back out into individual arrays.
