[All Platforms][Other] Button on play queue to shuffle current selections

[zardox]

Currently, in the panel "Playing from play queue" below "Now playing," if there are any selections queued, there is a listing titled "Next in Queue" with one option "Clear Queue".

My request - 

Add an additional button labeled "Shuffle", have it appear only if there is more than one selection in the queue. Pressing this "shuffle" button does a random sort of the selections currently in the queue.

Note : selections below in the "Next from" section are not included, no change is made to their order.

I need this because I routinely make a selection of singles and albums from several artists but I want then to shuffle the selections. This is kind of like building a playlist on the fly.

1. An alternate idea would be to have a button that transfers selections in the queue to a playlist. But that is less preferable because I don't want a new playlist to be added

Hello,
Hope there is someone else, who feels the same. Sometimes I use Daily Mixes, and there are 2 or more I find interesting at the moment. Very often I'd like to Mix them, and I want to do it quickly. It would be great if I could add both Daily Mixes to the queue, and then shuffle the queue.

There should be a feature that randomises/shuffles your queue. Often when making a queue, I want to listen to several songs by the same artist or in the same album so queue these at the same time, but do not want to hear them in succession. With this feature you would be able to queue all the songs you want to listen to but then click to sort them into a random order. You could use the feature repeatedly to keep randomising your queue if needed.

I like making a queue but I almost never want to listen to it in that order, so I think a button to shuffle the songs in the queue would be very beneficial and well received.

If I don't know the feature, please let me know!
It would be great if the play queue could be shuffled.
I always add songs to the play queue, but this causes them to be grouped by music genre based on how I have them sorted in my playlists, and then I have to drag the added songs around to change positions to mix up the genres.

This would make it easier to sort the play queue when at parties or sharing with friends.
