What is the fastest way to randomize a stack of quiz cards?  I did it by 
assigning each card an invisible field, putting a random number into this field
and then sorting by the field.  This works fine but i rather slow

Maybe this should be a built in option of the sort command (sort random).  It is quite possible that I have overlooked an easier (faster way) so if you know 
of one please write.
