This happens when I do the ‘‘Check database’’ function.  
Is there any solution to make cards that were created first get the first order within the local deck?

Cheers.

More information.

Some of my cards’ new order is above 1 million. And doing ‘‘check database’’ will assign a new number for cards that has number above 1 mil. (As I remember, It has a pop-up describing these on my screen.)

You can use the reposition tool in the browse screen to assign due numbers after sorting the cards in the order you want. When all cards have due #s under 1,000,000, check DB will not change their numbers.
