Sorting Galleries and Homepage (But, mostly galleries!)

Hi, I've seen this request many times and I think a couple years ago I added this to the list of feature requests.
It always drives me crazy not having this, so I thought I'd double check to see if there are workarounds or if it might able be available, in some way!
I want to sort my galleries randomly - whether it's one time sort or to show it different for each visit, i don't mind. I'd prefer a random sort vs date taken, data modified, title, etc. I'd much prefer it remain static after sorting once but I'd take a random sort each visit/refresh too. (I use a collage landscape type view.)
Currently, I do manual sort and rearrange them randomly - works great, until I republish from Lightroom, then I have to start over again! I don't want sequential photos next to one another.
Ok, that's by gallery - THEN, I'd also LOVE to have my homepage, which is a banner photo with multiple smaller photos below, able to sort randomly! Each time someone arrives on the site, same banner image, different order in the images highlighted below.
Can I do either of these today ... somehow, some way?? It drives me crazy not being able to! Seems like such a logical request! Thanks for your help!

There isn't a way to sort galleries randomly, especially not to change the sort automatically with each refresh or new visit. We do have a feature request for this here,
http://feedback.smugmug.com/forums/17723-smugmug/suggestions/2279967-add-ability-to-randomly-sort-photos
This was related to the old Legacy version of SmugMug when thumbnails for categories, subcategories and galleries would be randomized if you didn't have a feature photo chosen. On the New SmugMug there are no randomized thumbnails.
This is more geared toward images within the gallery to mix poses,

This has coding to create a random image banner similar to what shows here at the top of the Dgrin forum, but this is also for the Legacy version of SmugMug.

in the html box would change.
I've tested it here. See how the thumbs change.

I had to hide my regular menus and add a new one below the new html box. Both the new menu and
html has to be added in page content and not header. So it took a little CSS to format.
