Thanks for the comments. I'll take a look at the documentation to familiarize myself, as I haven't tried to write any plugins yet. With some luck I might be ready to write it when the hook is implemented.

I often find myself wanting this too, when I'm exploring a new dataset.

i agree with Bob that this is a good candidate for a plugin. The plugin system isn't quite setup for this yet though - there isn't an obvious mechanism for adding extra sort orders or other interface elements that manipulate the query used by the table view in some way.

I'm going to promote this issue to status of a plugin hook feature request - I have a hunch that a plugin hook that enables order by random() could enable a lot of other useful plugin features too.

This sounds like a good use case for a plugin, since this will only be useful for a subset of Datasette users. It shouldn't be too difficult to add a button to do this with the available plugin hooks - have you taken a look at https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/writing_plugins.html?
