About position of new cards

Anki Help

I always position of card for sorting. In the past, position of cards is by the order of adding time. But recently, the position always duplicate, so I can’t sort it correctly by position anymore. Is there a problem or something? Can I manually change it?

Sometime duplicate, sometime more. The duplicate is in different subdecks, so if the order within subdeck is correct, it’s not a problem. But recently, the order is not correct anymore.

  1. Are these cards from notes you added yourself, or notes you imported?

  2. Are these cards siblings of each other – made from the same note? Those will be assigned to the same Position # by default.

  3. Have you run Tools > Check Database lately?

  1. All these card I added myself.
  2. I don’t even know about cards siblings. They are very differrent.
  3. I also don’t know about this.
    Anyway, I find that I can use sort by created time for my purpose. So I don’t need to use position for sorting anymore. Thanks for your time.

I’m glad you found a solution, but you’ll definitely want to learn about these basic concepts anyway.
