Bug Description
To help people find bugs to work on or questions to answer, it might be useful to have 'random' as a sort order. It helps people discover tasks they are interested in working on when they don't know where to start.
The idea is: A user goes to launchpad looking to help somehow, but they don't know what they want to work on. So, they look for new/confirmed bugs or open questions, and pick whatever looks appealing. All the existing sort orders will show the beginning or end of the list (newest/oldest, etc), but the middle doesn't get as much attention.
More targeted queries could also help connect people with tasks they can do, but random is simple and reasonably effective.
