# Random Sort Clause

The [`Random` Sort Clause](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/latest/api/php_api/php_api_reference/classes/Ibexa-Contracts-Core-Repository-Values-Content-Query-SortClause-Random.html) orders search results randomly.

## Arguments

- (optional) `seed` - int representing the random seed
- (optional) `sortDirection` - Query or LocationQuery constant, either `Query::SORT_ASC` or `Query::SORT_DESC`

## Limitations

The `Random` Sort Clause isn't available in [Repository filtering](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/latest/search/search_api/#repository-filtering). In Elasticsearch engine, you cannot combine the `Random` Sort Clause with any other Sort Clause.

## Example

```
$query = new LocationQuery();
$query->sortClauses = [new SortClause\Random()];
```
