Dear

I need to know a "name of suffling (algorithm)"

There are many ways to shuffle.

For example,
Given a string "aaaabbbcccd"

We can shuffle into
(1) "abcabcabcad"
or
(2) "abcabcadabc"

I want to know "how can we name different methods"

If there are some examples, let us know.

Then ask in a newsgroup about algorithms.
Even better, ask Google.

This is not a question about the C programming language.

The name you seek is called 'permutation'.
Every different ordering of the string is a different permutation.
