   They are messing with it, "to see what folks like"   
      
   I'd guess, the randomness either gives you the opportunity to catch up   
   with a channel that you previously missed - or it gives channels with   
   names further down the alphabet a subscriber lookin'.   
      
   You can sort the list order on a phone, and view the selected channel on   
   a linked TV.   
      
   Or if your TV does voice commands, ask it for the channel name.   
      
   If you've got a good memory of those.   
      
   I've got 331 ;-)
