Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
When player A plays a SHARK + SWIMMER combo, player B's cards should be randomized for the draw. It makes no sense for the cards to be sorted by type: no real-life player would keep all his mermaids on the right side and all his sharks on the left for the other player to pick exactly what they need. Yet when I steal from my opponent and I know they have a shark/swimmer, I click on their left-most card (as I see them) and voila! I have their shark/swimmer in my hand. Mermaids and other "points-only" cards (penguins, shells, lighthouse etc.) will be toward the right. People who know this have an advantage over newer players and it makes the game unfair.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

Report history
And should be automatic for 2-player games
I noticed my most powerful cards are getting stolen more often than others so the players at my table tested and it seems true. The game automatically sorts the highest value cards to the top of your hand so anytime your opponents steal, all they have to do is steal the first card in the stack to get your best card.

$card = $cardsInHand[bga_rand(1, $cardsNumber) - 1];
Isn't the function bga_rand(min, max) and card numbers go from 0 onwards? by starting from card number 1, it would always omit first card in that players hand, no?
So in case player you steal from has 2 cards, it would always pick the second card no matter what, unless I'm missing something here (like first card being special or card numbers starting from 1 instead of 0 - but then that -1 would omit the last card on that players hand instead).
