Default How do I randomly sort data in a column?

I'm working in a Stat class and I need to sort data randomly. I've arranged
the data in a column and would like to select the data and sort randomly. I
thought I could do this in previous versions fairly easily, but it seems that
option is not easy in 2003.

goody, you could use a helper column put =RAND() in a column next to your
data, fill down to the end of your data and then sort on that column
