  I want to change the order of my gallery slideshow http://shootfromthehip.us/over-a-decade-of-images/
  I see there is the option for a random order to change the order of the images, but when I select random and save the
  setting. I still see the same image order.

  What step am I missing to make the slideshow randomly change the order? And if there is a way I can change it back
  to the previous order? I have about 100 + images.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  To the best of my knowledge, the slideshow doesn’t have any Random order parameter. That option is for the Gallery feature only.

  Yes, I saw that. And was wondering if there is another way around this, or do I change
  my slideshow to a gallery view?

  You might want to investigate the other slideshow options mentioned at the bottom of that Support Document. :)

  Of course you could use the Gallery feature, but with 100+ images, it certainly will take up a lot more room on the page than the slideshow.
