It would seem this shuffle guarantees that no element remains in it's current position. This seems less than random. My tests show that SOME elements stay in place ! Did I miss something ? Note: I suspect however that the distribution is not perfect(the items "don't move too far from their position" so i suspect the "distribution" to be biased)... Anyway it's ok for me the way it is, just have to remember it's not a true 'statistical random' change...
