Nothing random about permutations unless you make it so. CrossRef component does that or you can use this little bit of Python:

__author__ = "Joseph Oster"
__version__ = "2021.06.06"

from itertools import permutations  

perm = permutations(vals, len(vals))
perms = []
for c in list(perm): 
    perms.append("+".join(c))

P = perms

To randomize, you can jitter the list of permutations and perhaps use a SubSet (Sub List) of them.
