Adds a random order handler with seed. If a constant integer argument N is specified in the sql RAND() function, it is used as the seed value, which produces a repeatable sequence of column values. This makes it possible to have paging and not having items show up twice.
It's also possible to compute a custom seed using PHP, allowing you to create pseudo randoms numbers based on variables such as the date of the day.
