But one further point occurs to me: When people run such a function
does it meet expectation if the observations/rows are a random subset,
but in their original order? Or would users expect the order to be
shuffled? (Of course it's easy enough to shuffle the rows of a matrix
yourself if you want.)
No, drawing without replacement should not be order-preserving, just
like doing it with replacement. The last index could be drawn first and
then should come first, and so on. (If that is actually your question.)
