    Sorting with the embedded content tool

    Is there any way I can sort / randomise the order of using multiple embedded content tools?

    Credit to Gilad for helping me on the previous post. 

     

    @using umbraco.MacroEngines;
    @{
     foreach(var testamonial in Model.Children)
     {
            var itemsList = testamonial.customerTestimonials;  
                <ul>
                  @foreach(var item in itemsList)
                  {     
                    var customerItem = item.customer.InnerText;
                    var testimonItem = item.testimonial.InnerText;
                   
                    <li>
                       <p>@testimonItem</p>
                       <p class="quoter">@customerItem</p>
                    </li>
                  }
                </ul>
     }
    }

    I want to randomise the order really, cause its adding in sequence, I have list one, then list two

    Effective This is what it looks like the now in the CMS

    List 1 Items
    - Item 1.1
    - Item 1.2
    - Item 1.3

    List 2 Items
    - Item 2.1
    - Item 2.2

    List 3 Items
    - Item 3.1
    - Item 3.2

    and this razor script would render the list like this. 

    - Item 1.1
    - Item 1.2
    - Item 1.3
    - Item 2.1
    - Item 2.2
    - Item 3.1
    - Item 3.2

    But Ideally I would like it to do this. (pure random)

    - Item 2.1
    - Item 1.1
    - Item 3.2
    - Item 3.1
    - Item 1.3
    - Item 2.2
    - Item 1.2

    Any ideas?

    Try this :

     

    @using umbraco.MacroEngines;
    @{
     List<dynamic> forRandom = new List<dynamic>();
         foreach(var testamonial inModel.Children)
     {
    var itemsList = testamonial.customerTestimonials;     foreach(var item in itemsList)
     {
     forRandom.Add(item);
     }
     }
     Random rnd = new Random();
     forRandom = forRandom.OrderBy(p => rnd.Next()).ToList();
         <ul>
            @foreach(var item in forRandom)
            {     
                var customerItem = item.customer.InnerText;
                var testimonItem = item.testimonial.InnerText;
                <li>
                    <p>@testimonItem</p>
                <p class="quoter">@customerItem</    p>
                </li>
        }
    </    ul>
    }
