Hello and thank you for your help.

Is there a way to search cards by their position? In one of my desks, I’d like to find the card that has the position “95”; how do I do that?

Thank you. This works for new cards not for the others. How do I find the card that had the pos 95 when it was new?

Position only has relevance for New cards. I don’t think you can search for it after the card is introduced.

Hmmm, maybe.

To do that I need to reset the cards progression then and after I’ve found the card using `prop:pos=95`, made sure it exists, restore a backup.  
Thank you for your help. 🙂

**Edit** : I needed this because I had a deck that contained 174 cards but the newest card had the position 174. It should’ve been 173 since positions start with 0. For some reason, I suspected that the missing card was the number 95 but I needed to have confirmation. Fortunately, the card number 96, the one that should’ve been number 95, was still new.
