How can I get Random sort in Java array? (any element in an array)

[diljava]

This is required to develop an online exam. After reading from the databse
to an array, each time the array should be sorted in random order.

It sounds like you've a shuffling class/method in mind rather than sorting class/method. Because, sort will order the arraylist the same way everytime.

hi
I'm not a java progrommer, but I happen to post another question on this forum and saw your post.

there is a similar problem in the javascript forum which someone solved very efficiently. It uses a classic loop and the built-in pseudorandom function in javascript. maybe ther is an equivalent class in java you could use the same way?

see thread216-645064

hope it helps.
