Batch Rename---in Random Order

Question

Is it possible to batch rename a set of files in a random order? 
Making a slideshow of a number of events, but I don't want them in the order shot.  I can manually rename and move them, or I could sort by some other order than by name or date, such as file size, I guess, but those options haven't randomized the collection as well as I would like.
Just askin'...
Thanks in advance.

I’m not great with Scripts, but this might work:
// adds random five digits numbers at the beginning of jpgs’ filenames in a folder;
// use it at your own risk;
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select folder that contains the files to be renamed");
// for renaming other files than jpgs change the term in the brackets accordingly;
var theFiles = theFolder.getFiles ("*.jpg");
for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) {
var theRandomNumber = String(Math.random()).slice(3,8);
File(theFiles[m]).rename(theRandomNumber + "_" + (theFiles[m]).name)
One can copy the text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (which should be part of Photoshop’s installation) and start running it by hitting the play-button or save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets – Scripts; but it really doesn’t do anything within Photoshop, so it may be better not stored there.
Anyway it’s probably be best to run it only on a copy of a folder, because getting the numbers back off later on might be bothersome.
