Is it just me or is the lime green text on the new Livecode website way too
pale to read easily. It's not that I don't like the color, but it does seem to
get lost against a white background. Check out the tutorials section and you'll

Hi Terry,
It isn't called LimeGreen. LimeGreen is much brighter and greener. What
you mean is YellowGreen (unix colour name). It is a little faint, but I
can read it fine. You might want to adjust the colour settings of your
monitor.
You can see the difference here: http://qery.us/3h3 Left
Hey Mark - yes definitely more yellow green than lime but still difficult to
read. Particularly bad on both my Mac monitors but not much better on an iPad.

Terry...

If you want random sorts, don't change the randomseed. It's set for you on
startup, and only should be set if you want non-random things to happen.
If you sort three lines randomly there's a pretty high chance that a given line
remains on the same line for two consecutive times. It's not

With only three lines, are you sure you are not just seeing possible similar
consecutive sorts, since there are not that many options? Try hitting the sort

I think your problem is the use of the word lines…
These versions will show the difference:
on mouseUp

put one,two,three into myVar
put myVar
wait 30
sort lines of myVar by random(1)
put myVar
end mouseUp
on mouseUp
local myVar
put one,two,three
Try replacing 'the number of lines of myVar' with some huge number you think is
allowed for random(), say 99.
With small numbers you are likely to get the same number for different lines
and perhaps sort does not change order in that case.

Sorting by a randomSeed greater than the number of elements of a sample does
not help.
With the following in a fld 1: aaa,bbb,ccc

I think you are going to get the first line of the original list (correct
answer) about half the time. Does that seem right to you from what you have

Yes, the randomseed is misused here. Parameter is better.

I think that you cannot sort by random(99) because the argument of the sort

It's not just tend to leave them unchanged - it will *always* leave
