Wrong behaviour on Authors Box when sort is random and limit the authors?

Posted in: Newspaper

I think that Authors Box it’s not working as expected when “Sort authors by” is set to random and a value is set for the “Limit the authors” filter.

For example, if “Limit the authors” is set to 3:

Current:

3rd first authors in alphabetical order are sorted randomly

Expected:

3 authors sorted randomly

Hello @fespinal!

It’s working well and randomly. You can save the settings, view the page, and refresh it many times. You can see that the authors will refresh and change their order.

Thank you!

I do not think so. The box only ever randomizes the first 3 authors and should show 3 authors randomly.

For example:
Authors: A, B, C, D, E
Current: A,C,B – A,B,C – C,B,A
Expected: A,E,B – A,C,B – E,B,A
