I don't see how this would work?

Though I see I made myself less than clear. At the risk of solving even
more of the OP's problem for her than I already have,

      Keyed : Elements (Str'Range);
   begin
      for J in Str'Range loop
         Keyed (J) := (Ada.Numerics.Float_Random.Random (Gen), Str (J));
      end loop;
      Sort (Keyed);
