1. I don’t know the logic of “repositioning” function.
2. The position seen in the card information of the new card is 6 digits, but only 5 digits can be entered in the “Relocation” function.

1. “Reposition” is explained in the manual – [Browsing - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/browsing.html#cards) . I don’t know what logic other than that there is to understand.
2. I just checked, and with a 5-digit end-of-queue, I can still enter a 6-digit start number. But a better question to answer is what to do about your New-queue #s when they have gotten absurdly high. The answer is to reposition everything more reasonably, and Check Database to update the end-of-queue. Let me know if you need help with that.
