It's actually very simple, it just took me a little while to find the option.


Under the 'sort criteria' field,


    

  • hit the plus sign to add a new sorting mechanism
    • 

  • select 'Global' 
    • 

  • check on 'Global:Random' and then save.
    • 



It's that simple, but sometimes you scan straight pass the simple stuff!

I don't think I would have found the setting for this on my own. Thanks!


So is it possible to sort the random subset of rows that were returned from the query?
