I’m not talking about new cards. repeated cards get shown back to be from the beginning oldest to newest. I’ve trying everything in the settings. I have tried randomising all of their position in the deck. I even reinstalled the whole thing. This is happening with all my decks. They are all imported but same decks on other pcs dont have this issue.  
appreciate any help in advance.

Have you set _Review sort order_ to _Due date, then random_? A screenshot of your deck options might help.

Cards in the red learning queue will appear roughly in the order they are due. Once they become review cards, they will be shown more randomly.
