i have about a hundred layers... i'd like them to be all shuffled randomly (in terms of their position in the TWL stack).
So:

layer 1
layer 2
layer 3
layer 4
layer 5

would become...

layer 3
layer 2
layer 5
layer 1
layer 4

thanks

I've just posted up a link to some tools I've written which do this - it's the post titled: Layer power! "Instancer" and "Iterate Effect" scripts
in the General Scripts Library

To shuffle the layers:
- Select all the layers you want to shuffle
- Run the IterateEffect tool
- Pick the "random order" radio button at the bottom
- Hit "Do it"

You can also run the tool on a single precomp layer. It will shuffle all the layers inside the precomp.

Hope that's what you were looking for!
