How to randomly shuffle an array

Is there a way to randomly shuffle the elements of an array?

DA = "ONE":@FM:"TWO":@FM:"THREE":@FM:"FOUR":@FM:"FIVE"

N = DCOUNT(DA, @FM)

FOR I = N TO 2 STEP -1
    J = INT(RND(I)) + 1

    TEMP = FIELD(DA, @FM, I)
    DA = FIELDSTORE(DA, @FM, I, 1, FIELD(DA, @FM, J))
    DA = FIELDSTORE(DA, @FM, J, 1, TEMP)
NEXT I

How large of an array? I'm interested in both the number of elements and the length of the data in these elements.
