I got my A1 german list, it shows the cards randomly. So i get a card starting with ‘G’ and then i get a card starting with ‘B’ for example.

Today i add a new deck which is the A2 list but this deck started with a and goes only with a. There are so many words starting with other letters but it is showing with alphabetical order

I searched for solution and from the new cards opitons i did insertion order ‘random’ but still same.

So i thought maybe the A1 list and A2 list have the same words and first it shows me the same words. Maybe the issue is about that.

How do i make it random for all my decks?

Did you try the new card gather order? It has what you want.
