I am new to SimplePie and was looking through the API and couldn't find what I needed. I need to use Simple Pie to get random articles from multiple feeds. I'll better explain my question:
Here's how SimplePie gives me the feed now (in chronological order):
Article 5 (CNN)
Article 1 (YAHOO)
Article 5 (YAHOO)
Article 1 (GOOGLE)
Here is how I need it (in random order):
and so forth..
As far as I know, I would have to make a separate SimplePie feed everytime just to pull one unique article. I want Simple Pie to be able to do this with one call, but just rearranging them in before it sends it back. So kind of like a custom resort.
Please help :)

I had the same question here: Custom Sort Order with SimplePie
You need to extend the class.
class SimplePie_Random_Sort extends SimplePie
{
public static function sort_items($a, $b)
{
return rand(-1, 1);
}
}
