 * Hi,
    The random sortby function doesn’t work. I tried the to set it up in ultimate
   admin and also in the shortcode with [sortby=”rand”] , the second one seems better
   because i could see some change in the source code with random in data-sorting:
 *     ```
        class="um um-directory um-44b1b"
            data-hash="44b1b" data-base-post="2"
       	 data-must-search="0" data-searched="1"
       	 data-view_type="list" data-page="1"
       	 data-sorting="random">
       ```
   
 * But when i reload the page, it’s always the same user …
    If anyone as an idea
   about that ??? Thank’s
