This is a not a targeted ability.

You can't interfere in any physical way with activating this ability.
wotc4 Oct 2004
You can arrange your cards any time before the Orb is put onto the battlefield, but not after. In general, you should not stack cards or put them in places where your opponent can't read the names of all of them or count them. This is recommended good gaming practice.
wotc4 Oct 2004
Chaos Orb can only affect permanents. Cards that are in the game but not on the battlefield, such as those in the Library and Graveyard, can't be affected.

If you have sleeves on cards, they count as the cards.
