Ram,

You are welcome. And it was Pavan who first answered, I just picked up from him.

FYI -- For anonymous users, if you have caching turned on... I'm pretty sure this approach will not work like you expect it to. The query runs, it picks a random choice... but then then the whole page is cached and presented to non-authenticated users the same way every time (refreshing page makes no difference) until you change something on the page which causes the cache to be overwritten or until you clear the cache.

For logged-in authenticated users I'm pretty sure it will work as you are expecting it to.

Best,

Shai

Ram,

"Random" is not an attribute like "ascending/descending".

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.

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.

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.

Good luck,

Shai

Create a View(A block view), Set number of nodes to 1,  filter your content

type (article), and set sort criteria to random.
