 * Hi,
 * Trying to figure out how to add a Random (‘rand”) option in the Order By (orderby
   dropdown you can select on the Block Inspector of the Custom Post Type block.
   Is there a code snippet I can add in the edit.js file or something in another
   part of the plugin block files?
 * Thank you for your help.

 * 3.1.1 has an order by parameter for random. Thank you.

 * Just note pagination won’t work very well with random.

 * Thank you for the heads on the random with the pagination. Great work on the
