Shuffle layers positions
Hi,
I have a group of layers arranged as shown below.
I need help shuffling these layers so that the rectangles change their positions to get rearranged.

They are 22 photos.
So that image of a 4x8 grid structure was just an example, just as the fill layers were just examples of photos?
Does that layout grid structure stay the same then? It is just the 22 photos that are placed into the grid that need to be randomised and the grid layout is static?
I'm thinking of two possible options that don't require custom scripting:
1) Photohshop "Variables" (AKA Data Driven Graphics):

Where you would use pixel replacement to swap out the images. Using the RAND formula to randomise the order of the images in the spreadsheet so that they populate randomly in Photoshop.
2) Using one of the late JJMack scripts for creating a Montage:
Either alpha channel based or smart object based, where you would use image names that randomly sort, say by adding a random number prefix to each filename:
