Two rules:
Listy Definitions [Jota]
I. If any list of things is said to be in "Standard Order", that will mean
they are ordered according to case-insensitive alphabetical order,
ignoring articles (the words "a", "an", "the") and non-alphabetic
characters. Any items remaining will be at the end of that list,
ordered alphabetically with articles included but non-alphabetic
ignored. Any items still remaining will follow in numerical order if
numerical, and at the very end of the list if not.
II. If one item from a set is to be chosen by "Random Selection", the
items (or names of the items, as appropriate) will be considered in
Standard Order. A die will be rolled whose number of sides is the same
as the number of items in the list; if no appropriate die is
available, the next largest die will be used instead. The number
rolled will be used as an index (where "1" indicates the first item in
Standard Order) to select the item; if the value exceeds the number of
items on the list, it will be rerolled.
