Quick answer
What does this tool do?
Random Order Generator creates one complete no-repeat sequence from a list using a Web Crypto Fisher–Yates shuffle. The numbered result can be copied, printed or downloaded for presentations, tasks and turn order.
- Output
- Complete ordered sequence
- Algorithm
- Fisher–Yates shuffle
- Repeat behavior
- Every input position used once
- Maximum list size
- 1,000 entries
Why use this tool?
Random Order Generator converts a list of people, presentations, tasks, interviews or matches into one complete numbered sequence. Enter each eligible item on its own line, choose whether exact duplicates should be removed and generate the order with a Web Crypto Fisher–Yates shuffle. Because the full list is shuffled once, every retained line appears in exactly one position; the tool does not repeatedly pick items and accidentally create duplicates. The sequence can be copied, printed or downloaded, and all ordinary processing stays in the browser. Freeze the participant list and adjustment rule before generating an order that others will rely on. If a scheduling or accessibility change is later required, document the smallest agreed swap instead of repeatedly regenerating unaffected positions until a preferred order appears.
How to use it
- Enter each participant or task once.
- Choose whether duplicate lines should be removed.
- Generate the full order.
- Copy, print or download the sequence.
Common use cases
- Presentation sequence
- Interview slots
- Tournament starting order
Practical examples
- Set the presentation order for six groups.
- Choose a starting sequence for board-game players.
- Randomize the order of approved interview slots.
How it works
Random values come from window.crypto.getRandomValues(). Lists are shuffled with an unbiased Fisher–Yates process. For a wheel, the result is chosen before the animation; for weighted entries, each positive weight defines its share of the total probability.
Limits to understand
- Duplicate input lines remain separate unless removed.
- A random order may still need accessibility adjustments.
- Changing the list requires generating a new order.
Privacy
Input and results stay inside this browser during normal use. Local saving is optional. If you select Create Share Link, the visible list and settings are uploaded under a hard-to-guess token and expire automatically.

Random Order Generator FAQ
Is my list uploaded?
No. Entries are processed in your browser unless you explicitly create a share link.
What kind of randomness is used?
The browser Web Crypto API supplies unbiased random values. Wheel animation only reveals a result chosen in advance.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. The controls, results and wheel adapt to current mobile browsers and keyboard navigation.
Can I reuse my settings?
Yes. Device storage can remember recent settings unless you turn off local list saving.
Is this suitable for a certified lottery?
No. It is a general-purpose classroom, work, event and decision tool, not a regulated drawing system.
