Possible to modify standard Genesis loop args?

[simbasounds]

As a general question, is it possible to pass an argument to a standard Genesis loop to override theme settings?

In this case it's a custom taxonomy template and all I want to do is turn off paging and orderby random without rebuilding the loop.

ie. it's looking great with just the genesis(); function, but needs to be random and all on one page.

pre_get_posts() is what you're looking for.

Thanks so much Ren. In functions.php I used:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'set_cat_tax_args' );
function set_cat_tax_args( $query ) {
	if ($query->is_tax('charity-category')) {
		$query->set( 'orderby','rand' );
		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', -1 );
	}
}

And it's working!
