Dae, it seems the sort orders we have for filtered decks do not match with the ones for normal decks.

I think the “Reverse Relative Overdueness” order should get added to filtered decks too. Also, what about the other sort orders? I was trying to clear my backlog using `difficulty_asc` but it seems that is unavailable for filtered decks. Any reason why the discrepancy?

Historical reasons. There is no longer any reason why a sort order in one of them shouldn’t also be in the other, and PRs that add the missing ones are welcome. We should probably add comments to both areas, to remind ourselves to add in both places moving forward.
