 * Hi,
 * Is there a parameter to randomise the posts that appear through the shortcode?
 * I’m using it to show products related to an industry using custom taxonomies.
   There are many products for an industry but it will always show the first 8 that
   were given that industry. I’d like have a random selection of products each time
   the page is reloaded. Could this possibly be done in the next update if not available
   now?
 * Thanks
