Wordpress: Random posts & Pagination

I noticed if I order the post by random that Wordpress does not remember the posts displayed and repeats entries on the 2nd, 3rd, etc pages.

Whats the best solution to shuffle the posts in a category, but make sure that they dont repeat?

Thanks

maybe something along these lines

Code:

session_start();



add_filter('posts_orderby', 'edit_posts_orderby');



function edit_posts_orderby($orderby_statement) {



    $seed = $_SESSION['seed'];

    if (empty($seed)) {

      $seed = rand();

      $_SESSION['seed'] = $seed;

    }



    $orderby_statement = 'RAND('.$seed.')';

    return $orderby_statement;

}

I found this post also.

I added it to the functions file and it works - but, it affects everything including the listings in the admin area.

you could check for is_admin() and whatever else, would need to know where you are putting the random bit, so you can only show it there.
