Maybe this is a bug, I'm not quite sure.
Basically the problem exists in that if you have a large set of terms you are creating your cloud from (say 100+ or what not) but only want to display 20 of those terms, there appears to be a break down in the logic.
Instead of getting 20 randomized terms from all 100 terms you get the top 20 terms (alphabetically) and then only those are randomized. So I end up with tag clouds of only terms with A-C being randomized.
Sorting by date doesn't appear to have any effect on views cloud in general, nor does the additional global random filter do anything to change the results.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a problem in views cloud? I've tried all sorts of different methods without much luck either way.
#1
In the first paragraph I mean "but only want to display 20 of those terms RANDOMLY", just for clarification.
#2
I got the same problem. You can reproduce the problem by setting the maximum number of tags to 1 or 2, then you will see everytime you refresh you get the same tags. I want them to randomly choose from all tags.
