Shuffle an Array in Random Order

This code sample will allow you to randomize (shuffle) the order of an array of objects, strings or numbers.

function shuffle(o) {
    for (var j, x, i = o.length; i; j = Math.floor(Math.random() * i), x = o[--i], o[i] = o[j], o[j] = x);
    return o;
}

Directions:
- call myArray=shuffle(myArray);
