  Now we’re really talking the shizz man!!! Ditto and wayfinder are both excellent but do seem to do similar things, however ditto using wayfinder’s amazing templating capabilities would truely rock the boat!!!
  
  If at all possible, I’m totally sold on the idea!!!

  RE: Number Limits and Randomization, whould/should actually be pretty easy to do via SQL. I wouldn’t anticipate very much coding/change required at all.
  
  Account for the parameters, then change this:
  
  

  ' ORDER BY '.$sort.' '.$dir.';';
  

  
  
  To something like this:
  
  

  $sort = 'RAND()';
  $dir = '';
  ...
  
  ' ORDER BY '.$sort.' ' . $dir 
  . 'LIMIT 0, '.$wfLimit.';';
  

  
  
  Or alter in a similar manner. In short, if randomization is selected, it would probably have to go in front, with others to follow. (e.g. Random 5, then sorted by menu index...)

  Sweet! I was just about to mod Wayfinder so that I could use the limit, but depending on how soon you get done, I might not have to! Maybe you could post the names of the params/"beta-code" so that I won’t have to change references in my snippet call and can continue working in the interim?
  
  This is awesome news, Kyle!

  @pixelchutes
  
  I have completed the mods and the updated version is in the repository.
  
  I added the parameter &limit for limiting the result set.
  
  For the random part, I added the option of ’random’ to the sortBy parameter.
  
  So if you want 5 random links you would use:
  
  

  [!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &limit=`5` &sortBy=`random`!]

  :D Now talk about service! Huge thanks, and glad that others will also find a use for my suggestion/your work. I’ll test it out right now!

  *** EDIT ***
  scratch that, for some reason the Repository is not accepting any of my updates right now. it is attached below for now. When I click "Submit" it just reloads the edit page and nothing gets updated. Sorry.
  
  Husband, Father, Brother, Son, Programmer, Atheist, Nurse, Friend, Lover, Fighter.
  All of the above... in no specific order.
  
  I send pointless little messages
