`shuf` or `sort -R` from the coreutils package; I think that they were not widely available when `shuffle` from filo was written. > > * stats was handy, but I think that it is quite superseded by datamash. > > I noticed that datamash was mentioned in med-cloud task.

I think that datamash is more generic. Also, while it was inspired by bedtools' groupBy, it did not gain a large user base. `stats` for filo was even less used (which is why nobody complained that it is in /usr/lib/). Cheers, -- Charles
