 * Hey everybody,
 * I’m deeply sorry if I missed another thread about the same topic, but I didnt
   find one which fitted my needs or my question.
 * I’m not sure if something on my page broke the functionality but that doesnt 
   make too much sense, so my problem is:
 * If you have like 20 jobs, and the sort_by=random-option activated and in the 
   joblist only ten per page via pagination, the system doesn’t really shuffle ALL
   jobs and then creates the pagination but the other way around. as far a I can
   see it the shuffle function is only per page.
 * is that normal and where (how :D) to hook a function to change this behaviour?
 * have a great weekend everybody
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frandom-functionality%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@diddiausde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diddiausde/),
 * The issues with randomized order of job listing have to do with known bugs for
   pagination. We have an open GitHub issue here you can follow, here: [https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues/1781](https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues/1781)
 * We don’t have an ETA on the fix, but you may find a snippet in that open issue
   as a temporary solution:

 * Please feel free to follow the above issue and follow up there.

 * Thank you very much for that answer. I’ll try that out and will follow that topic
   then.
