Related Items Collection In Dynamic Content Detail Page

Hi, I am using dynamic content to have a filtered gallery of videos. I created a videos collection which contains all the single items/videos, and a categories collection which I use to filter the content. I used tabs for the filter and all looks good.

the issue I am having is that on the detail page I'd like to have the single video and description (which I did), followed by a collection of three related items, where the items share the same category as the single video.

Is there a way to link the category of the main item with the collection of related items? Also it would be awesome to be able to randomize the order of the related items (now sorting is only default or reverse), so it's not always the same videos that show up!

here is the index page with the tabs/filters

and here is the detail page with the related items collection

sorry, the site is still in hosted locally so I can't provide access to it

ok, the video shows the same thing I did. My problem is that I have 20 or so collection items (Videos), filtered and categorized in three categories (also a collection). Once I create the details page, the "related items" dynamic collection gets the items from the Videos collection. I'd like to be able to filter the related videos depending on the category of the details video, and possibly randomize the order of the items shown, that way the videos would be pertinent to the main one in the page, and not always the same. Also, it would be nice to have a way to exclude the main detail item from the suggested items collection...

You need to create Category using Multi Reference. Problem is, no way to randomize order for now. Just default (oldest to new) and reverse.

How would the multi reference help?

With multi reference or reference, you can make relation between data set, accross collection. Try to play around with it, seems can help...
