I have about 12,000 Anki study cards that have been working well for nearly a year.
Yesterday I tried (for the first time) the Basic(and reversed) cards and added about 100 new cards in a new Deck.
This morning and afternoon all seemed well and everything had synched normally.
Tonight I was studying and editing cards from my iPad. When I synched after several changes, suddenly the ENTIRE deck is now appearing in reversed order (back to front) which is not helpful for studying!!
I suspended all the Basic(and reversed) cards - but this did not resolve the problem.
I deleted all the Basic (and reversed) cards - but this does not resolve the problem.
All the remaining cards are coded as 1:Card1: Back->Front in the āTypeā field.
The drop-down menu gives me NO OTHER OPTIONS to change the cards back to a Front->Back card.
I re-downloaded Anki onto my laptop (Mac) and resynched - still same problem.
I desperately need help resolving this problem.
Please helpā¦
youāve probably pressed Flip on card template editor.
you can go to Tools -> Manage Note Types and then select Basic (if you have changed your note type name, select your note type) then press Cards... and on the window that opens, press Flip and then save.
I just had the exact same problem (still unresolved!)
I was synching changes from my i-pad and now my entire library (12,000 cards) are showing in reverse.
Initially I suspended the Basic(and reversed) cards. Problem did not resolve.
I have deleted all the Basic(and reversed) cards, but the remaining cards do not revert to normal.
Am really worried that I wonāt be able to restore normal format to these cards
What do I do next ?
I made sure Anki is the newest edition/ dowload and reinstalled.
You are an angel; literally made my day!!!
(And saved my sanity ;))
I think that was the problem.
I am so grateful.
I will write again if the problem recursā¦
Iām having trouble figuring out why my cards wonāt stay in the āFront-Backā order Iād like them to be in. When a card comes up reversed, I edit the card with the āEditā add-on by clicking āCards > flip > saveā. It seems like this change is not permanent though, because sooner or later the card will show up facing the wrong way again. Iāve had trouble with this for cards that Iāve created directly in Anki, as well as cards that Iāve downloaded from Quizlet. The card type is āBasicā, not āBasic (and reversed card)ā. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
