I’m not an Anki developer, but from my experience analyzing usage, I don’t see a method that would always maintain the same order. It depends on intervals and whether the cards are from the same entry, and it starts displaying them as far apart as possible, or even postpones studying a certain card until the next day. I was also trying to figure out how it would work with subdecks, and there’s no clear order there either.
But somehow, viewing needs to be done in the desired order, so I suggested simply creating a field where you enter the number you need for ordering and then sort by the desired column when viewing (using the add-on https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1334324384).
Of course, I’d be happy if you could customize the order in the filtered deck, since it currently has “In order added,” but people said they might add more later and that’s inconvenient for them. And I can’t change that logic from the add-on.
I agree with you that order is important in the initial stages of memorization. When testing Anki algorithms, they try to make the cards as simple as possible; they are essentially of equal complexity and shouldn’t be related to each other, so that this doesn’t affect the effectiveness of the test. But in reality, knowledge is interconnected, and this connection can be such that seeing “A” will make you remember “B,” but the opposite won’t work. Anki doesn’t take all these complexities into account.
Why is order important? I mentioned generating association after association, but chemical and electrical reactions also occur. To switch, you need to build up potential, and you need to build it now. That is, it’s precisely the timing and multiple repetitions that are important: “In the axon hillock, all these incoming signals are summed. If the total voltage exceeds the threshold, a powerful electrical impulse—an action potential—is generated.” In ancient times, they used a simple analogy: to make a beautiful drawing with a wood chisel, you need to go over the line many times, and each time you get a deeper and cleaner line.
Why is it important to check knowledge out of order? That’s exactly what Anki does. It assumes you’ve memorized this atom of knowledge. Then it simply checks at regular intervals. It doesn’t take into account how you memorized it, but if you memorized the alphabet in order and are asked to say what letter comes after “T,” you’ll take a long time to answer, which would indicate you’re not very good at it and don’t know it. Checking out of order tests the extent to which you have other connections to this card (the atom of knowledge) in your head. If we have two objects, then there aren’t just two cards; there can be many: the objects themselves, whether they’re positioned on top of each other or not, whether they have the same color or shape or not. There can be many parameters, but the most important is the position or fusion, since this creates a new outline, and for us, it’s a common object encompassing these two. Does Anki take this into account? Of course not 
I’m expressing my point of view, and this answer, if not for you, then perhaps for someone else. Of course, this isn’t just my point of view; the general ideas are taken from a book I slightly edited by Kozarenko: “He was awarded the Cambridge Medal for ‘A Textbook of Mnemonics’ and was included by the Cambridge Biographical Centre among the outstanding scholars of the 20th century in the field of ‘Development of Intellectual Abilities.’” But the ability to quickly memorize is only part of the set of skills required for speed reading. So, I had to edit his book (with his consent) and include it in my free computer program, which you can use to try learning speed reading techniques (unfortunately, this is only in Russian; there are plenty of programs for English around the world, too, and people just need the desire to find them and try these methods).
All the best!
