randomizes
Makes order arbitrary
Randomizes means arranges or selects in a random order, removing predictable patterns.
In research, scientists randomize study participants into groups to eliminate bias: The software randomizes which subjects receive the treatment.
In computing and gaming, systems randomize outcomes to create unpredictability: The playlist randomizes your songs each time.
