Manual randomization of stimuli

[David McFarlane]

So, you want to run stimuli in a fixed externally-generated 
order?  Do you want to use the same order for all runs, or 
individualize the order for each run?

If the former, then you might first put your List into the desired 
order, then run it in Offset order by Session (or Group), and use 
Session (or Group) to give the starting point.  See 
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/e-prime/JtLh6DxqCbs for a bit more 
discussion.  To get the the List into the desired order, I find Excel handy.

If the latter, then you might use the Explicit Order object, see that 
topic in the E-Basic Help facility.  This takes a bit of inline code 
and can be a bit tricky, so you might want to contact PST Web Support 
for further details.
