 * HI there,
 * I have different “categories” pages. I would like to know how I can randomise
   the post order instead of displaying chronologically. I can’t figure out how 
   to do that.
    any idea?

 * Do a query posts on the loop:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts)
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters)
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts( 'orderby=rand' ); ?>
       ```
