Where is random order ?

The shuffle does not work on the $filenames array, removed the random order from the user interface but code is still there.
Need to find a solution how to order the slide_images and pager_images randomly.
Help appreciated.

Any status on this?

You can always use the random order in the view itself and set order in the configuration page of the ddblock module to none.
This way it will use the order of the items in the view.

There is a very simple workaround for this problem:
Under "custom jquery cycle plugin settings" enter:
{"random":true}

But it would be nice to have a UI element for this setting...
