how can I add to my spaced repetition ANKI practice, just few dozen cards per topic i’ve learned today, and not the whole deck (some contains hundreds of cards- too much for new), and I want to add them randomally and not alphabetic.
and to unsusped all its not a good idea cause those cards appear tomorrow, which I DONT want (prefer to study around 40 new each day from the topic i’ve learned and ignore the rest- quality over quantity)

Based on your question, you want to study a limited number of new cards each day (around 40) from topics you’ve just learned, without going through entire decks at once, and you want the cards to appear randomly rather than alphabetically. Here’s how to achieve this:
Limiting New Cards Per Day
Open Anki and select the deck you want to study
Click on the gear icon next to the deck name to access the deck options
In the “Daily Limits” section, set “New cards/day” to around 40 (or your preferred number)
This limits how many new cards you’ll see each day from that deck
Changing the Order to Random
In the same deck options menu
Go to the “New Cards” tab
Look for “Insertion Order” or “Display Order” setting
Change it from “Ordered” to “Random”
This will randomize the order of new cards rather than showing them alphabetically
Selecting Specific Topics
For studying only specific topics you’ve learned today (rather than entire decks):
Create a filtered deck (Tools → Create Filtered Deck)
Use search terms like “tag:your-topic-tag is:new” to select only new cards from specific topics
Set the limit to around 40 cards
Select “Random” order in the filtered deck options
Study this filtered deck today, then tomorrow Anki will return to showing you your regular scheduled cards
Remember that when you use random order, Anki will randomize your notes while keeping cards from the same note together, ensuring a consistent learning experience.
Does this approach work for what you’re trying to achieve? If you need more specific help, let me know!
The bot gave wonderful suggestions on how to achieve what you have in mind.
Just to add: usually suspending the entire deck, then just setting a daily limit for new cards and unsuspending only the specific tag you want to study at the moment is enough. Filtered decks can be used for more focused reviewing, not daily reviewing, but you can give it a try!
I agree with you that filtered deck is impractical for the long term, this is why I seek for help here..
I’ll tell you where i’m sturggling:
Im using regular AnKing step deck, then I unsuspend a topic (for example Pathoma 01) meaning I just unsuspend around 200 cards, but I will only study 40. tomorrow I want to unsuspend different topic and learn new 40 cards from the new topic, and not learn cards from the Pathoma 01 deck. obviously I want to accumulate cards, every day new 40 in spaced repetition.
I think that’s more of an issue with the Pathoma tags specifically. The Pathoma tags have a lot of cards in them, even in the last subtag of a given hierarchy.
Here are a few possible solutions you could try:
Try unsuspending cards from other study resources. The cards are generally the same, as the deck isn’t built on top of any specific resource. Trying resources like First Aid, which has tags that contain fewer cards and are more segmented, might help. I’m not saying to switch study resources, just to try different tag systems.
Unsuspend only the first or last 40 cards of the tag. I don’t think this is a good solution, because you will certainly miss some cards.
Re-evaluate the time you planned to unsuspend all the cards and the rate at which you study each topic. As in your case, if you just study 40 cards from a 200-card tag and then unsuspend the next tag (which also has hundreds of cards) the next day, you’ll be missing a significant amount of cards. Maybe unsuspending more cards per day or taking more than one day for each topic could help. This solution probably won’t help as much, as I know the time to study each topic isn’t very long.
Use the HighYield tags together with the Pathoma tag. Click the Pathoma tag, then hold Ctrl (or Cmd) and click the HighYield tag. This will show only the cards that are common to both selected tags. That way, you have fewer cards, and they are just the important ones.
