Hi,

In a template, I have a list retrieved with this code:

 def $my_list = fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, 2810, 
							class_filter_type, "include",
							class_filter_array, array(141)))

I want to sort this list by a random way.

I've tried: 

sort_by , array('rand()', true())

, but it does not work.

Is there somebody who has a solution?

Thanks!!

Ciji

Great,

Thanks! This solution solves the first part of my problem.

The second one is that I need to generate a new random array each time I refresh my page... but now I have a problem of cache!
Somebody has already posted a topic here :

Thanks a lot for your help Christophe.

Ciji.
