How to order review cards such that you see newest cards first?

šŸ™‹ Support

Hello,

Used to, I was doing AnKing cards and ordered my review cards with ā€œAscending Intervals.ā€ It seemed this way I could review my most-recently-learned cards first, as I am still in classes. Now, this is no longer having the same effect. I am wondering if there is any way to definitively order my review cards so that I can see them in this order. Also, if anyone could give an explanation of how to order New cards when using AnKing, that would be helpful, because it is difficult to purposefully keep lots of cards unsuspended from past classes while also reviewing for the current class. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

It looks like you may have accidentally pasted the category description instead of your actual question.

From the topic title, it sounds like you want to:

Order review cards so that you see the newest cards first.

Two important points here:

  1. This is a general Anki scheduling/ordering question, not specific to AnkiHub.
  2. Per the text you quoted, general Anki questions should go to the Anki Support Forum or #off-topic here.

Where to ask this question

Since itā€™s about review order in Anki itself (not syncing, shared deck behavior, or issues specific to AnkiHub):

  • Please post your question on the official Anki forum:
    https://forums.ankiweb.net/
  • Or, if youā€™d like to discuss it casually with other AnkiHub users, you can post in our #off-topic category instead of #šŸ™‹ Support.

When you re-ask it, include:

  • Your Anki version and scheduler (v2 vs v3).
  • Whether youā€™re talking about:
    • New cards order, or
    • Review cards order (due cards).
  • Any deck options youā€™ve already tried (e.g., filtered decks, custom sort).

If at some point youā€™re trying to understand how AnkiHubā€™s updates or shared decks interact with your card order (e.g., browser ordering vs. AnkiHub updates), feel free to open a new topic focused specifically on that and Iā€™ll gladly help with the AnkiHub side.

Hello,

I would be happy to help. :slight_smile:

Ascending intervals will organize your cards by interval, which may or may not be directly related to when those cards were introduced.

Iā€™m not actually certain if the Anki software allows for cards to be introduced based on when they were introduced, Iā€™m sorry to say. At least, if it does Iā€™m not aware of it. I believe you can introduce cards based on ā€˜order addedā€™, though I believe that this corresponds to when the cards were created, rather than when they were introduced.

You might try ā€˜order gatheredā€™ or similar and see if that does the trick for you. Beyond that, Iā€™m not sure that Anki has a way to order cards that specifically, as it does somehow run counter to the softwareā€™s design, for better or worse

Please let me know if that answers your question, and if thereā€™s anything else I can help with. :slight_smile:

Brian,

Thanks for your response, that all makes sense. Are you aware of any good ways to do somewhat more targeted content review in AnKing without suspending lots of cards? Perhaps that just isnā€™t realistic with the software. Thanks

In most cases, ā€˜targetedā€™ studying typically involves the use of tags and/or subdecks

For a few reasons, the AnKing Step deck makes use of tags, and does not have subdecks by default though you can also create subdecks if you prefer to have them (many folks do this).

This tutorial can walk you through some of the basics, including how to target your studying with tags: https://ior.ad/a94K

This tutorial can walk you through how to make a subdeck (into which you can move specific cards, if you like): https://ior.ad/aFkP

Give that a shot, let me know how you fare, and weā€™ll go from there and hopefully we can get you squared away. :slight_smile:
