add randomly sort files (in menu 'show')

Burning a directory filled with many mp3 files to a CD but, in randomly order is a problem. Or do you happen to know a tool?
It would be nice to have a random sort function, added to menu "show", just below CTRL+F3-CTRL+F7, integrated in TC.

Content plugin filesys

Add a new custom column view with field
[=filesys.random nr]

Sort by the column "
random nr"

Thank you, forwarding me to the right thread!
Installation succesful,
but...
which command/formula should I enter in "Field Contents" to get random numbers in that column?
Got it via pulldown menu!
[=filesys.random nr]

The functionality has been integrated in TC itself (tested in Version 10.00). So you don't need any extra plugin nowadays.
Just type
[=tc.random number] in the
field content and you're good to go. Image:
