Hello, I want to do the green cards first, then with red, then the blue ones. Is this even possible? I tried tinkering around with the settings and looking up my problem but couldn’t really get it to work. I want the get the easiest cards out of the way first, then the ones I got wrong, and only then proceed to new cards. Thank you in advance! ---

With small steps, the cards are shown as soon as the delay has passed, in preference to other waiting cards like reviews. This is done so that you can answer the card as closely to your requested delay as possible. In contrast, if the interval crosses a day boundary, it is automatically converted to days.

> [@Tiananmen](#): > > I want to do the green cards first, then with red, then the blue ones. It is definitely possible to study “green”-Review cards first, … then “blue”-New cards. You can control that in the Deck Options of the deck you click on to study – [New/review order](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html#newreview-order) → Show after reviews. Whether you can have the “red”-Learn/Relearn cards appear between them depends on which ones you are asking about. You can start the day with “red” cards that are – 1. Cards that were in Learn/Relearn yesterday on a short step, but not graduated to Review before the end of the day. 2. Cards that were in Learn/Relearn yesterday on a long enough learning/relearning step that it crossed the day-boundary to today = interday learning cards. Then once you start studying today, you will also have “red” cards that are – 1. Review cards that you’ve studied today that lapsed (Again) into Relearn. 2. Cards that were newly introduced today and are now in Learn. For 1, 3, and 4 – These cards are the highest priority, and will be shown as close as possible to the time they are due (based on the learning/relearning step they are on). Since the cards in #1 are held over from yesterday, they are overdue, and will be shown first today. Cards in #3 and #4 will be shown when their current step interval has passed, at any time during your study session today. For 2 – You can control where you see these relative to your Review cards in the Display Options of the deck you click on to study – [Interday learning/review order](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html#interday-learningreview-order) → Show after reviews. * * * So, if you set both New and interday Learn as “Show after reviews,” _I believe_ (but I welcome verification or correction) you will be shown: - Learn (red) #1 → - Review (green) → - Interday Learn (red) #2 → - New (blue) → - Learn (red) #4 [but these can start appearing anytime during your New cards, depending on how long your learning steps are] Except for the length of your relearning steps, you can’t really control when you’ll be shown Relearn (red) #3, because it will depend on when you get them wrong. ---
