[Feture request] A way to scramble TE order

This might be more suited for carpet extra, but oh well.

When working on contraptions, especially in storage tech, it's especially frustrating when something works, you relog and it stops working. When hoppers are involved, this usually be because hoppers are ticked in the order they were created. That makes it so that when hoppers are reloaded, their processing order is effectigvely scrambeled in a basically unpredicatable way.

It would be really handy to ahve a way (a command, probably) to re-scramble the order TEs (or at least hoppers) are processed at will, to test for the reliability of a thing without having to manually replace the hoppers in a contraption in a not quite random order over and over again.

Granted, for smaller contraptions, it's omre practial to go over all possible order iteration, but for mid to large ones, it becomes really bothersome, or even infeasable.

sounds very useful.
Could technically be done with scarpet, isn't it?

Could it? I'd do it in a pinch if I knew how. Your suggestion is to just remove and replace all hoppers in random order?
