Is there any way to call upon randomized order of a trial list?

[EprimeNewbie]

My question is pretty simple.
Is there anyway to reference the randomized order of a list (or a nested list)?
I am hoping to save that as an array and reference it as needed..

In other words, if I had a list of 20 trials, then I would like to write the randomized order of the 20 numbers into an array. Note, I am not manually doing the randomization but instead using the properties tab within the list to randomize the list (though if necessary, I could manually randomize the order by using the following command: List.Order = RandomOrder.
So conceptually speaking... if the original order of the list was...

     'OriginalOrderArray(20) is an Integer array...

     OriginalOrderArray(1)=1
     OriginalOrderArray(2)=2
     OriginalOrderArray(3)=3
.
.
.
I would like to write the randomized order into an array I can call upon...
Let's call it "RandomizedOrderArray" for example..

     'RandomizedOrderArray(20) is an Integer array...

     RandomizedOrderArray(1)=8
     RandomizedOrderArray(2)=13
     RandomizedOrderArray(3)=2
.
.
.

Any ideas?

Still waiting on ideas..

Would love to hear any ideas you might have..

Many years ago I needed to run a List in a randomized order, and then
later rerun that List in the same randomized order. So I submitted this
problem to PST Support, and PST staff kindly directed me to the
ExplicitOrder object, which you may read about in that topic in the
E-Basic Help facility. That did the job very nicely.

BTW, just before PST staff answered my request I hacked my own solution
by resetting the seed of the PRNG. But ExplicitOrder does a better job
than my hack, and opens up other possibilities (e.g., repeating stimuli
in the exact reverse of the earlier randomized order). Have fun with it!

Oh, I should have also directed you to where this question has been
answered before:
