 * Hi, guys, let’s say I have a list or maybe a few divisions and I want to randomize
   the order in which they appear so that sometimes they’re ordered orginally like#
   1, #2, #3 and other times they’re ordered like #3, #1, #2.
 * Does anyone know how to do this?

 * That would depend on how they are stored and displayed in the first place.
 * How are the elements or items stored? Is it an array, object or something else?
 * How are they dipslayed? Is it using a loop (`where()` or `for()`)?
