random order

Shuffled, no sequence

Random order is an arrangement without pattern or predictable sequence—items placed or selected by chance rather than design.

Things listed in random order follow no alphabetical, chronological, or logical scheme: The names were drawn in random order.

To put something in random order is almost paradoxical, since randomness implies the absence of intentional ordering.
