Aliases%arrayShuffle( )
Parametersarray @anArray

    This function takes an array and shuffles the order of the values and
    returns the randomly ordered array with all of the values re-indexed from
    1 onward.

    Example:

        @foo->1 = "Foo 1"
        @foo->2 = "Foo 2"
        @foo->3 = "Foo 3"
        @foo->4 = "Foo 4"
        @foo->5 = "Foo 5"

        @shuffled = %arrayShuffle( @foo )

        foreach( @shuffled as @key => @value )
        {
            echo Key: @key, Value: @value
        }
        endforeach

    Output:

        Key: 1, Value: Foo 4
        Key: 2, Value: Foo 2
        Key: 3, Value: Foo 3
        Key: 4, Value: Foo 5
        Key: 5, Value: Foo 1
