Is there a way to sort a JavaScript array in a random order kind of like this:

var string1 = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var string2 = [
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)],
string1[math.floor(math.random() * 6)]
];

document.write(
string2[0] + 
string2[1] + 
string2[2] +
string2[3] +
string2[4] +
string2[5] +
string2[6] +
string2[7] +
string2[8] +
string2[9] );

Is there any way to do that but without any numbers repeating or doing an if/else statement for each possible combination saying if they are equal change it?

An array of numbers is not really a string. – GolezTrol Jun 29 '15 at 22:39
you mean string or array? – Walter Chapilliquen - wZVanG Jun 29 '15 at 22:39
Look for Fisher-Yates shuffle. – elclanrs Jun 29 '15 at 22:40

Just generate the array of subsequent numbers and then shuffle it: [How can i shuffle an array in JavaScript?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6274339/how-can-i-shuffle-an-array-in-javascript) – GolezTrol Jun 29 '15 at 22:40
