    Hi all,

    I'm trying to show random users depending on the resource group. I have a couple of users which I show trough the extra Peoples. 

    [[Peoples? 
	&limit=`3` 
	&tpl=`C.tmpl.user`
	&usergroups=`marketing`
]]


    The only thing I need is to get random users. I've tried &sortBy=`rand()` and &sortBy=`random` but it doesn't work. Can't find anything in the docs.

    Anyone has some tips to get me in the right direction?

      Hi Ilja-web,

      It is possible with pdoUsers which comes with extra pdoTools. See https://docs.modx.pro/en/components/pdotools/snippets/pdousers for the documentation.
      With this snippet it is possible to show a list of users sorted randomly.
