Repositioning Cloze deletion with shift position enabled

[O3nnM7LP5GzFMBS]

Repositioning cloze deletion cards (i.e. single note with hypothetical 10 cards) will shift all other cards by number of repositioned cards instead of number of repositioned notes, but the cloze deletion cards themselves are grouped by notes. This leads to large gaps in positioning which in my case with over 30000 cards ~ 900 notes leads to massive gaps for each reposition. Here is example:

note 1 ~ 10 cards
note 2 ~ 5 cards
positions: all cards in note 1 have position of 0; all cards in note 2 have position of 1.
reposition note 2 to be before note 1 and use shift existing cards.
new positions: all cards in note 2 have position of 0; all cards in note 1 have position of 5 (i.e. the number of cards repositioned in note 2).

Why not keep it at position 1 instead of 5?

‘Shift position’ moves all existing cards up by the amount of cards that are being repositioned. It doesn’t attempt to look at the existing positions, and whether they could be reused.
