Description
https://github.com/USRSE/usrse.github.io/pull/992#issuecomment-1320560718 has,
Interesting, maybe we should reverse the order halfway along or something?
Ooh, I like this idea! I think this gets to my concern that the list is random and static.
We should make it so that it is easy to show lists of candidates in varying order.
#607 raised some implementation questions. Easy enough to do in a semi-static way, so it changes occasionally as people add jobs or whatever, but for more frequently random we'll need to roll out some JavaScript.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #607 and the discussion linked in PR #992, since they contain the implementation questions and proposed ordering behavior. Identify how candidate lists are currently rendered, then make the ordering approach easy to adjust and verify that lists no longer remain random and static.
