I'd like to see the original 'comma' separator allowed for dimensions. The new format is 'x', but all tutorials and current users are used to using a comma. Seems like an easy addition. Even if it is substituted to the new format, allow it for data entry.

There's various algorithms for poker. Sorry, I can't help beyond decoding the cards, as in the given function. Either Goggle "poker algorithm code" or maybe someone else has done this already.
Sort them how?

With Smart Random and a decoding function to convert the numbers 1 to 52 to your CiS format.
It's hard to tell what's going on in a screen shot. Can you post what you have so far?
Yes, you need to pull the values out one by one into your own array.
I don't have a card example, but you don't input the values, it will generate them for you. Give a range of 1 to 52, for example, and decode the cards from there. Or, use it four times for each suit from 1 to 13.

You can't bury an 'Every X seconds' inside a function. The function is only called once. That event will never be seen again. Also you are using a global variable to trigger the movement. You need an instance variable to set the target flag on just the one object at a time. This should be closer to what you want, if not exactly what you asked for.

Use the array as an offset from your base number, using the array as a range.
If your base=12, your range is 6 (or +/-3), X=Base + RND - Range/2, or 12 + RND - 3, where RND is a number between 0 and 5.
You can use this to get an array of unique numbers:
