Put in a dummy column

use a formula like

=if(rand()<.5,"Experimental","Controlled")
then drag fill down the column.

recalculate (F9) until satisfied with the distribution. use a formula like
=countif(D:D,"Experimental") to check

when you are satisfied with the distribution, Select the column and do
Edit=Copy, then Edit=PasteSpecial and select values

now you can sort on this column and copy your data.
