Hi @rics,
That’s a great question. We don’t have a standard way of doing this now and this is the first request we have had for this.
But I can tell you how you could do this if you were open to customising/forking the plugin. In the file: plugins/ideapush/inc/shortcode/idea-list-items.php
just before line 263, you can put in:
$args[‘meta_key’] = ”;
$args[‘orderby’] = ‘rand’;
That should display the ideas in a random order. You would need to update or hide the ordering labels on the frontend though with CSS or javascript. If I get more requests, I will consider adding this as a standard feature. It should be noted that pro users also get priority in terms of feature requests. Thanks @rics,

The company I work for is purchasing the PRO version in the next few days. We have been using the free version to gather ideas, as expected, but I want to use the plugin in a completely different way for another purpose.
For that, I have already hidden the voting system, and it would also be great to randomize the ideas for people to read on the frontend.
Users… always corrupting the use of software! hahahahahaha
Thanks for the code.. Will try that!
