There is a way to do it. Pretty much just randomly swap items a bunch of times.

Yeah it is possible 

repeat (large number, eg 100)
set [random v] to (pick random (1) to (length of [list v]))
set [value v] to (item (random) of [list v])
delete (random) of [list v]
insert (value) at (random) of [list v]
end

repeat (length of [list v])
set [random v] to (pick random (1) to (length of [list v]))
repeat until <not <[randomising v] contains (random)>>
set [random v] to (pick random (1) to (length of [list v]))
end
add (random) to [randomising v]
end
set [random v] to (1)
repeat (length of [list v])
add (item (item (random) of [randomising v]) of [list v]) to [shuffle v] 
change [random v] by (1)
end
delete [all v] of [list v]
set [random v] to (1)
repeat (length of [shuffle v])
add (item (random) of [shuffle v]) to [list v]
end 
end

I've got a demo project that uses insert to build up a random sequential list - see if this helps at all

Hmm... I just hope I can explain this properly.

You pick the first item in the list and remember the place it was in, then you pick a random number between 1 and the length of the list. You remember what that item was, then you swap that with the first item you chose, and the same for the other one.

Or download this and look at the scripts:

another method:

when gf clicked
repeat (scrambling amount)
set [chooser v] to (pick random (1) to (length of [list v]))
set [chooser2 v] to (pick random (1) to (length of [list v]))
set [temp v] to (item (chooser) of [list v])
replace item (chooser) of [list v] with (item (chooser2) of [list v])
replace item (chooser2) of [list v] with (temp)

This is the easiest, just remember to delete all of scrambled list before you start.

And add the items you want to be scrambled at the start, Assuming it's not user inputted

Yours would work as well, that's true.
