Randomizing the order of text lines on a TextDisplay or Slide

[Joseph Williams]

I'm doing an experiment where people see members of categories: for each
member they see three features, where each feature is a sentence. I want to
display each feature/sentence on a line, but I need to randomize the order
of the features- so I can't just have a display that shows [f1], [f2], [f3].
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make these attributes appear in a
different random order for each of the ~50 examples I'll present?

The solution I can think of now is to write code that has a string array
'f1' 'f2' 'f3', randomizes this array, and then sets each element of the
randomized array to Text Boxes on a slide. But I'm not sure how easy this
will be to implement in practice, and it seems as though there might be a
natural way to use E-prime to randomize the order the items appear in.

Thank you,

Joseph
