Random entries sorting

When first launching the website I decided to sort the survey entries alphabetically. Three weeks on, Google Analytics data reveals that people situated towards the bottom of the list get a lot less hits.

As a result, I’ve decided to switch to random ordering (you’ll get a different order every time you refresh the homepage), in order to give everybody a better exposure.

Thanks to Lucian for the suggestion.

Well, I’ve just realized that there’s a major flaw in randomly sorting the artists’ names, as it would be impossible for a visitor to keep track of what he/she has actually seen during one visit. Until I actually figure out how to link Wordpress sorting to session cookies, or come up with a better idea, I’m reverting back to the original form.
