I would like to use a parameter like orderby="random" on a matrix field to randomize the order of the row output.
{matrix_field orderby="random"}
{row_title}
{/matrix_field}
I tried this, but got a MySQL error. Is this possible?

What type of mysql error did you get? – Romans-8---31-39 May 21 '13 at 21:50

Without testing I'm quite sure this is correct. What error are you getting? – Paul Redmond May 21 '13 at 21:51

MySQL error was Unknown column 'random' in 'order clause' because you can't set random via the orderby parameter. The answer below is correct! – Jon Horton May 22 '13 at 13:11

You actually have to do sort="random" in Matrix. It's not like channel:entries in that way.

I just looked it up a minute ago and could have sworn I saw it under orderby as well as sort. Either the docs just changed or I'm seeing double: voting for the latter. – Romans-8---31-39 May 21 '13 at 22:17

Yeah, the old docs used to have all this info and more, but the new ones are sorely lacking :( Thanks for the help! – Jon Horton May 22 '13 at 12:50
