A random button for ordering Code Golf post lists

On most Codidact communities the posts list has a "Random" button among the sorting buttons:

![The sorting buttons on Codidact Meta - "Activity", "Age", "Score", and "Random"](https://codegolf.codidact.com/uploads/9owwx0barnrg8k34rq2rz194sei4)

The only exceptions are the Codidact Proposals community, and Code Golf:

![The sorting buttons on Code Golf - "Activity", "Age", and "Score"](https://codegolf.codidact.com/uploads/5hvv376qew6bu49vb0uglnxof9jg)

This suggests that it is an optional button that can be switched on and off per community.

I can't find any previous discussion of avoiding having it on Code Golf. I'm wondering whether it was simply never requested for this community, or if there is a reason for avoiding it.

Would you prefer the button to be present or not, and what are your reasons?
