Hi! Boy you dug up an OLD thread.
For 4.4.5, look in the modules/Manufacturers/func.php and look for:
Code:
function func_get_manufacturers_list($avail_only = false, $limit = 0) {
Below that you will see:
Code:
. " ORDER BY orderby, manufacturer"
replace the orderby, manufacturer with Rand() like this:
Code:
. " ORDER BY Rand()"
I haven't tried it but it should work unless I missed something obvious.
