  The consequences of adding random perturbations (anarchy) to a baseline
hierarchical model of quark masses and mixings are explored. Even small
perturbations of the order of 5% of the smallest non-zero element can already
give deviations significantly affecting parameters of the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, so any process generating the anarchy
should in general be limited to this order of magnitude. The regularities of
quark masses and mixings thus appear to be far from a generic feature of
randomness in the mass matrices, and more likely indicate an underlying order.
