So each player would roll a die at the end of each movement phase to determine their adjusted adjusted dexterity for that turn. To hit rolls would still be based on adjusted dexterity (not adjusted adjusted dexterity which is only used to determine order of actions).
Example: A, B, C, and D are in combat and are able to act during the action phase. Their adjusted dexterities are 16, 12, 12, and 9. Each rolls a die and the results are 1, 6, 2, and 5, making their adjusted adjusted dexteritiez 17, 18, 14, and 14. So B acts first, followed by A. C and D are tied, so their order of action is determined by another die roll (odd for C, even for D, or something similar).

It's a neat idea and it doesn't look like it would actually slow things down
too much if everyone rolls at the start of the turn when you roll for initiative. Especially if you do turn-order with a card for each character like I do (after rolling, each player writes their adj adj DX at the top and hands it to the GM), of course the GM does have to roll for each NPC...
