suggestion from Charles Randall on 2001-08-10
sort: Add an ordering option -R that causes 'sort' to sort according
to a random permutation of the correct sort order. Also, add an
option --random-seed=SEED that causes 'sort' to use an arbitrary
string SEED to select which permutations to use, in a deterministic
manner: that is, if you sort a permutation of the same input file
with the same --random-seed=SEED option twice, you'll get the same
output. The default SEED is chosen at random, and contains enough
information to ensure that the output permutation is random.
