like the subject said im looking for an easy way to shuffle the items inside a stack. I dont know if theres a java class that can do it so excuse me if this is a stupid question, im only a novice =( code or a link would be very helpful. thx in advance. himifire

Im not sure if it would work, but here goes. You take a stack, get its size, then pick a random number from that size, grab the object at that number, add it to a new stack, and remove it from the old one. Then just go until the old stack is empty. It should mix it up a bit.
