shuffle db table order

simple code to shuffle a table ... with php shuffle:

$result = $mysql->query("SELECT id FROM $table ORDER BY id");
$rows = $result->num_rows;
$order = shuffle(range(1,$rows));
while($row=$result->fetch_row()) {
  $num=array_shift($order);
  $mysql->query("UPDATE $table SET rand_sort=$num WHERE id=".$row[0]);
}

added:
with MySQL RAND():

$result = $mysql->query("SELECT id FROM $table ORDER BY RAND()");
for($i=1;$row=$result->fetch_row();$i++) {
  $mysql->query("UPDATE $table SET rand_sort=$i WHERE id=".$row[0]);
}
