I was actually going to suggest a simpler version of cechode's version, but along the same lines.public static IEnumerable Randomize(this IEnumerable source){ Random r = new Random(); return source.Select(x => new { Key = r.Next(), Value = x }) .OrderBy(x => x.Key) ...

public static IEnumerable<T> Randomize<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
{
  Random r = new Random();

  return source.Select(x => new { Key = r.Next(), Value = x })
   .OrderBy(x => x.Key)
   .Select(x => x.Value);
}
