Here's the prompt:
Function for comparing keys (empty for default `sort-subr' predicate):
And here's what sort-subr's docstring says about the behavior of the
default predicate:
If PREDICATE is nil, comparison is done with ‘<’ if
the keys are numbers, with ‘compare-buffer-substrings’ if the
keys are cons cells (the car and cdr of each cons cell are taken
as start and end positions), and with ‘string<’ otherwise.
That sounds like that should handle random's return value fine, so try
entering an empty string at that prompt.
