Place list items in a random order.

This tool runs open-source code from OmniTools (MIT License). See open-source credits.

Shuffle List randomizes parsed item order and can return a selected number of items.

An unpredictable permutation of the three items. Processing runs in the browser.

Instructions

  1. Provide text or data for this tool.
  2. Choose the separator mode before running the shuffle.
  3. Set a positive length only when you need a subset.
  4. Keep the original list if you need to reproduce the previous order.

Example

Input: red blue green

Settings: Shuffle List: Split and join on newline, then request all shuffled items.

Result: An unpredictable permutation of the three items.

Limits

  • Shuffle List: The shuffle uses runtime randomness and has no seed control.
  • Shuffle List: A requested length can return fewer items only when the source has fewer items.
  • Shuffle List: The operation runs in the browser and does not need a network service.

Questions

How do I shuffle list items randomly?

Choose the input separator, then run the shuffle. The tool rearranges the parsed items and joins them with your output separator.

Can I return only part of a shuffled list?

Set a positive output length to take that many items after shuffling. Repeated values in the original list can still appear more than once.

Is this list shuffle suitable for security-sensitive selection?

This implementation uses Math.random for rearrangement. Use a security-reviewed random selection process when unpredictability or an auditable draw is required.
