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 ;-)
