 The parameter `RAND` for the argument `order` gets replaced with `none`
 {{{
 1246            if ( 'RAND' == $atts['order'] ) {
 1247                    $atts['orderby'] = 'none';
 1248            }
 }}}
 see: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/media.php#L1246]

 Which gets passed to `get_posts()` and won't give back a random order

 `RAND` should be replaced by `rand` - like this:

 {{{
 1246            if ( 'RAND' == $atts['order'] ) {
 1247                    $atts['orderby'] = 'rand';
 1248            }
 }}}

 than it works perfectly fine.
