I’ve founded unexpected results when working with a deck with several subdecks. To simplify, I will use this test deck:
(If anyone is interested it can be downloaded from here)
There are three subdecks, each with three cards. All cards are new, created sequentially and positioned #1 to #9. All decks use standard deck options, except that new cards / day is set to 6.
Now, if I want to study the Test deck deck by deck, I could use, for example, these settings (EXAMPLE A):
I expect Anki to show the new cards in this order: A1 > A2 > A3 > B1 > B2 > B3
Actual result: A1 > A2 > A3 > B1 > B2 > B3 > OK
Same result with these settings (EX. B):
Expected result: A1 > A2 > A3 > B1 > B2 > B3
Actual result: A1 > A2 > A3 > B1 > B2 > B3 > OK
Now, if I want Anki to show me first the last cards, I would use these settings (EX. C):
Expected result: C3 > C2 > C1 > B3 > B2 > B1
But the actual results are: A3 > A2 > A1 > B3 > B2 > B1 > ?
Same here (EX D):
Expected result: B3 > B2 > B1 > A3 > A2 > A1
EDIT: that was probably my fault: actual results are B3 > B2 > B1 > A3 > A2 > A1 > OK
And here (EX. E):
Expected result: B1 > B2 > B3 > C1 > C2 > C3
Actual result: A1 > A2 > A3 > B1 > B2 > B3 > ?
BUT, if I use these settings, it works (EX. F):
Expected result: C3 > C2 > C1 > B3 > B2 > B1
Actual result: C3 > C2 > C1 > B3 > B2 > B1 > OK
I’m not sure if this is a bug, or user error, probably I’m just missing something obvious here. Any help?,
