I have set up a Shuffle Order action button to randomize my affirmations, but it consistently shows the first affirmation. Can you help me troubleshoot why the shuffle isn’t functioning as expected? Despite clicking the Shuffle button, the affirmation displayed doesn’t seem to change based on the random selection. How can I ensure the text component correctly references the shuffled data?

Can you add some screen shots to show how you have it configured?

All Shuffle Order does is shuffles the order of the data in collections with the sort as Randomly.

Maybe try sorting the data by random
