   Is there a way to select a randomized sort order? If not, that would be a very helpful new feature, for example to display one randomly selected testimonial in a widget using a shortcode such as "[my_content type='testimonials' display='full' count='1' order='random']".

   It's "rand" -- so, change "random" to "rand" and it should work fine for you.

   Great - thank you. Is this option documented somewhere?

   All of the ordering parameters are here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters

   Thank you. I'm new enough to WordPress that I didn't realize the parameters were generic to WordPress rather than specific to your plugin, so I'd only looked in info about your plugin for this.
