Ram,<br><br>"Random" is not an attribute like "ascending/descending".<br><br>Rather... it is its own field to sort or on. Click on the drop-down for adding another field to sort on... go through the list slowly and you'll see "Random" as a choice. <br>
<br>You might, if I remember correctly, even be able to set ascending/descending as an attribute after you have added Random as a new sort field. That, of course, makes no sense and it makes no difference what that attribute is set to.<br>
<br>I needed help in a similar situation as well; it really is counter-intuitive for "Random" to be a field to sort on. But we do love Views, so we'll take it with its warts.<br><br>Good luck,<br><br>Shai<br>
