Problem:
When we need to display an array randomly, we need to randomize is using different techniques which is costing developer time and server resources.
Easiest way to do it to access java.util.Collections and shuffle it.
...
<cfset choices = arguments.question.getChoices()>
<cfif arguments.question.getisRandomizechoices()>
<cfset CreateObject("java","java.util.Collections").Shuffle(choices)>
<cfif>
...
Since it is provided in Java why don't we provide an optional tag parameter to <cfloop>which will shuffle the array.
