[TYPO3-mvc] Random sorting without custom query?

no clean solution with the current extbase version - but maybe once the 
bootstrap is up and running.

What you could do/try is to use the dynamic USER_INT feature of Typo3 
available around 4.3 or so.

Just call this in your controller:
Tx_Extbase_Dispatcher::$cObj->doConvertToUserIntObject();
break;

Not tested, but could work somehow like that - although it will create 
quite some overhead - so you should trigger that as early as possible in 
your controller
