Any idea on how to reasonably implement it?  (we should probably continue on
the devlist with this) I think this comes down to having a "local variable"
associated with a certain category (to store the shuffled list, for
example), the rest is just adding selection options. BTW, once there is a
reasonable solution there are other uses for it - e.g. storing an activation
count (if it is used in the template that is - no need to store it for all
cats).
