What do you intend with 'register', exactly? Moreover, what you intend with 'sort random'? Should 'registers' appear unsorted, with uniform distribution?

It's not clear what your question is. I am assuming you are not specifying 12,000 variables to be held in registers. Are you only asking how to do a random sort on a 12,000 variable vector?

It's equivalent to generating 12,000 order statistics. There is an algorithm in James Gentle's book that you can use for sequential generation of order statistics.

Below is a link to the errata of the book along with the name of the book.
