Random order picker
Enter participants or items, 1 per line, to reorder all of them randomly. Decide the presentation order, duty rotation, or task sequence, review the numbered list, and share it by copying or saving it as text.
What you can do
Set an order for everyone at once
Randomly reorder the entire list, including each input row exactly once. This differs from a draw that selects only some winners.
Keep rows with identical names
Even if several rows contain identical content, they are included in the order as separate items. Add a group name or similar identifier if you want to distinguish people.
Copy or save with numbering
Check the order starting from number 1, then copy it as a table or CSV with order and item in separate columns. You can also choose text for messages or save as .txt.
How to use
Enter one candidate per line
Paste participants or items. Blank lines and leading and trailing spaces in each line are removed.
Set order
The “Set order” button rearranges all input items.
Share the set order
Choose table, CSV, or text from “Copy” to get the set order. Running again creates a new order.
Useful when
Set a presentation order
Use it to prepare a presentation or demonstration order in which every participant appears once.
Set the order of tasks or game turns
Randomly choose which items to do first or the participation order from the input list.
Reordering all items versus drawing some
Random order uses each input row exactly once
Rows with identical names are also kept. There is no operation to automatically combine duplicate inputs.
Use a draw to select only some items
If you do not need an order for everyone, use Draws & random selection to specify the number to select.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if two rows have the same name?
Both rows are included in the result. To distinguish people with identical names, add a group name or number to their names.

1–1,000 items excluding blank lines, with up to 100 characters per item. The total input limit is 102,000 characters.
Can I redo the result?
You can press “Set order” again with the same input. The result is replaced with a new order.
