I don't think it's really random.Since it's dictated by the computer, even though it looks random, i'm sure there are some patterns in the order(for example there are items that statistically sell together) ,But maybe they keep it as a trade secret , only to be known by a small group of developers and managers.

To quote Lunarsm below:

> Aside from a few exceptions, most items are randomly stowed. The stowers all have a rate, and because of that, will find whatever space fits their needs.

We only have a few queues to stow into per shift where all the product comes in, so I doubt the computer determines THAT much of it, but I could be wrong.
