&fieldsdir=ra truely random??

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 26370
interpreted = N
texte = I have template with this-[Search db=Greetings.db&negreetingdata=nada&greetingsort=1&greetingsdir=ra&max=1] [FoundItems][interpret][greeting][/interpret][/FoundItems][/Search]where the Greeting.db has only one field (named greeting) with records like- hello [username]...¬ But I find that I can force reload the page repeatedly (like 20 times) and only get one of 2 greetings returned out of 12 possible. That doesn't seem very random to me. I have tried this a few times on different days and I always get the same 2 greetings. Even if I flush webcat's and my browsers cache, the same thing happens. Any ideas why the &greetingsdir=ra doesn't sort more randomly? How to make it more random?-John ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
