Hello, I would like to put a series of numbers (of the order of 10^7 numbers) into random order, i.e., to shuffle it. In Excel I would simply add a column next to the column with the data, and then sort by the random number. But I could only do this for 64000 numbers. How can I do that in Mathematica for a file with a much larger series? (could you please copy any answer to my address: george at netvision.net.il) Thanks!
