Hi.

I have a suggestion to allow sorting cards in custom study by (re)learning state first, before showing regular due cards.

I think it would improve efficiency, as it would allow the study process to start with (re)learning cards, then due cards, and finally new cards. Right now, if I sort my cards by order added, for example, (re)learning and due cards are mixed together.

One way to achieve this is to make separate filtered decks for each kind of card then putting them under a single parent deck.

Thank you for your reply!

I didn’t know I could sort my cards using “is:learn”. Thanks!
