This tool rearranges the order of paragraphs in the given textual data. A paragraph is considered to be a text blob that is separated by other blobs by one or more empty lines. The shuffling is done by the Richard Durstenfeld algorithm, which is a modern version of the Fischer-Yates algorithm. It generates a random number from 1 to n, which corresponds to the ordinal number of the paragraph (total n paragraphs). The selected paragraph is then moved to the end and then a new random number is selected again but this time in the range from 1 to n-1. This algorithm continues until all paragraphs are mixed. Using the options section, you can change the shuffle algorithm slightly. In particular, you can move paragraphs in groups of two, three, four, or more paragraphs. For example, if you have 6 paragraphs, you can create 2 groups of 3 paragraphs each and shuffle them in triples. In this case, only the first group (1st, 2nd, and 3rd paragraph) and the second group (4th, 5th, and 6th paragraph) will change the positions. That is, there will be two possible combinations in the output: either (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) or (4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3). As you can see, only the groups move but the paragraphs inside groups remain unchanged. You can also trim lines before shuffling. This allows you to clear lines of unnecessary spaces on the sides. But be careful – if any of the lines contain invisible whitespace, they'll create a new paragraph. Also, you can delete repeated paragraphs before shuffling and have only unique paragraphs printed in the output. Randomabulous!

In this example, we shuffle three verses of the song "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. The shuffling algorithm selects each verse with the same probability and puts it in a random position from 1 to 3.
This example makes two modifications to the quote before shuffling. First, it trims lines and second, it removes repeated paragraphs. Trimming the lines makes them aligned on the left side, as well as makes the invisible whitespace at the end of lines removed. Removing repeated paragraphs deletes the last paragraph as it's a copy of the first paragraphs.
This example consists of six paragraphs. Each paragraph is one line long and every two paragraphs represent a writing system in the following order: Latin (paragraphs 1 and 2), Cyrillic (paragraphs 3 and 4), and Abugida (paragraphs 5 and 6). To avoid mixing the writing systems and keep them together, we merge paragraphs into groups of 2. This way, pairs of paragraphs are shuffled but paired writing systems are not shuffled.
