I have a list of objects $objects that contains objects like this.

$objects = @(
@{Name="One"; Group = 'A'},
@{Name="Two"; Group = 'B'},
@{Name="Three"; Group = 'B'},
@{Name="Four"; Group = 'A'},
@{Name="Five"; Group = 'C'},
@{Name="Six"; Group = 'B'}
)

I’d like a randomized list of all the objects basing the randomness on Group property.

So far, I can do this Get-Random -InputObject $objects -Count ([int]::MaxValue) to get a randomized list. But I don’t know what that is based on.

I was wondering if I can use Group-Object to group them first by Group and then start picking from these groups. Hence, the distribution will be based on Group property.

I can also use Random Class from .Net.
