What is the purpose of shuffling the validation set?

What is the purpose of shuffling the validation set during training of an artificial neural network? I understand why this makes sense for the training set, so that each minibatch has a different composition every time, but doesn't the ANN evaluate the whole validation set every epoch?

what difference will it make to the trainning if the training set is shuffled?

To impose and verify a consistent GENERALIZED path to convergence by avoiding repetitive anomalies.
Hope this helps

I agree the answer does not help and it is not clear what this is about.

I also do not understand this Shuffling on validation data. I try to reformulate the question:
What the 'Shuffle' name-value pair of trainingOption does with validation data? I mean, what is the point of shuffling validation data?
