 * Hi
    The best way to explain is to show my code :
 * <?php
    if (have_posts()) : $c = 0; while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $c++;
   if ( $c == 1) { $style = “current first”; } elseif ( $c == count( $posts ) ) {
   $style = “last”; } /* elseif ( $c == 2 ) { $style = “”; }*/
 * else $style =’dispa’;
 * ?><?php
    $images =& get_children( array ( ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘post_type’
   => ‘attachment’
 * ));
    foreach ( $images as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
 * ?><div <?php post_class($style) ?>id =”post_<?php echo $post->ID;?>”><?php echo
   wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, ‘large’ ); }
 * ?><div <?php post_class(‘mezzanine ‘ . $style) ?>><?php $description = $attachment-
   >post_content;
    echo $description; ?></div></div><?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();
   else : echo wpautop( ‘Sorry, no posts were found’ ); endif; ?>
 * The result of this is to show the attachement image that is directly attached
   to the current post.
    I want to show the posts / posts attachments in random 
   order though i noticed that adding the ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ function is not helping.
   Does anyone could help me with this? Thank you in advance
