Lets say I have 30 video clips, from my phone in a folder - Lets say for example they are clips of trains passing by. Ranging from 20 seconds, to 2 mins in length, and all lengths in-between.

By default, they are in the folder in the order which they were taken in - Perfectly sensible... But... Is there a way to mix them up randomly, so when I drag them to the timeline in my editing program, to ad transitions and join them all together, I end up with a totally random order?

What's the simplest way of getting a random order, besides just guessing at them?
