Finally I have figured out what causes this problem.

You uploaded the randsort.pl file to the CGI directory, and the pure
existence of a file whose name begins with 'rand' confuses the
checker. Remove that file, and it will work.

Now, this was obviously not your fault. Most certainly you found
randsort.pl at the "Add on Features" page, and that file _is_ intended
to be in the CGI directory.

Thanks for calling our attention to this inconsistency! I'd better do something about it.

If you really want to make use of a separate file for reordering, and
call it from cron, you can simply rename it to something that cannot
be mixed up with the name of any of the original files in the CGI
directory.
