Default Random sort function for text

I have a list of about 60 names that I need to randomly compile every day.
Does excel have a function for this?

Put =RAND() in an adjacent column. Select the range including both column,
and sort by the random number. Sort again as often as you like, as the
RAND() will recalculate each time.
