# Randomizing Results From WPDB Query

 * Hello,
 * I have been trying for hours this morning to get these results randomized with
   no luck. I tried using examples from the Codex, from other support threads,a 
   nd even stackoverflow. I feel like I am missing something simple.
 * I pulled this code from a theme (developers are of no help) and I need to make
   the results random.
 * `return "{$wpdb->postmeta}.meta_value + 0 {$order}, {$wpdb->posts}.post_date 
   DESC";`
 * Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!
