No, you're wrong. It looks like Fisher-Yates, but there's a slight difference, in that all his array items can move again on every loop. His "correct algorithm" is actually Fisher-Yates, where per loop, one item gets moved into its final position. |

Bart,
That's what I said ;-)
Please re-read the node you are replying to.
I said the "original ... is not a Fisher-Yates..." and "The final is a correct Fisher-Yates..." - which is exactly what you are asserting now.
