Summary: Sort query results to random order

Initial Comment:
It would be nice (and easy to implement) to be able to
sort query results in _random_ order, especially when
working with reference corpora like Brown or the BNC
(where looking at the first 1000 hits of a query does
not give a good idea of the overall distribution).

Message:
This has been implemented for quite some time (forgot to close ticket). 
The syntax is:

   sort NamedQuery randomize;

(bit inelegant, but avoids new reserved keyword)
