Frequently Asked Questions
The List Randomizer tool allows you to randomly shuffle the order of items in a list. This is useful for creating random selections, randomizing data sets, or creating random orders for various purposes.
Our tool uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, which is a well-established method for generating unbiased random permutations. The randomness is based on JavaScript's random number generator, which is suitable for most non-cryptographic applications.
You can separate your list items using new lines (default), commas, spaces, tabs, or semicolons. The tool will detect your chosen separator and process the list accordingly.
The 'Trim Lines' option removes any leading or trailing whitespace from each item in your list. This is useful for cleaning up data that might have inconsistent spacing.
When 'Ignore Empty Lines' is enabled, any blank lines or items that contain only whitespace will be removed from the output. This helps clean up your list by removing unnecessary empty entries.
