It would be really great to have this working with the latest version of anki. Will send a craft beer sized payment via patreon. lol. but seriously.

Here's a quick fix: #179

To apply the fix yourself (rather than wait for the addon to be officially updated by glutanimate):

1. Open Anki
2. Click Tools > Addons
3. Select this addon ("Insert Randomized Lists multiple choice")
4. Click "View Files"
5. Open editor_random_list.py in a text editor.
6. Apply the changes in Improve compatibility with Anki 2.1.41+ #179.
7. Restart Anki.

Thank you!, it works on 2.1.45 beta 5 as well

I tried the fix #179 above and it seems to be broken again in 2.1.49. I was unable to get the bullets to randomize.
