 * The plugin’s great but I think it would really benefit from having a Random function.
   Is there any way that I can quickly add this to the wp-cycle.php page? I notice
   the word “random” appears in the jquery.cycle.all.min.js file so I’m presuming
   it’d be fairly straight-forward to add?

 * Hi, I solved it by the shuffle php function.
    I put the shuffle($wp_cycle_images);
   on line 407 in wp-cycle.php before the foreach function begins:
 *     ```
       406	echo '<div id="'.$wp_cycle_settings['div'].'">'.$newline;
       407	shuffle($wp_cycle_images);
       408	foreach((array)$wp_cycle_images as $image => $data) {
       409...
       ```
   
 * That will randomize the order of the images in the html file… give it a try.
   
   It works for me.

 * Sorry for taking so long to get back (I wish there was some kind of notification
   system on WordPress Support!). I’ll give this a try next week, when I’m back 
   in the office, and let you know how I get on.

 * Hi tric3x. Finally got around to implementing this today and it works perfectly–
   really great addition to an already simple and great plugin. Thanks.

 * Upon adding the shuffle function, I lost my ability to delete slides. Any one
   else experiencing this?
