How can I review cards in the order I created them?

Hi everyone,

I just created about 200 cards in a deck, and I need to review them in the order I made them, because they build on each other. But it seems like Mochi is making me learn the most recently created cards first.

Is there a way to study new cards in the original creation order (from oldest to newest)?

Thanks in advance!

By the way, such a great app! thanks for building it

  1. Go to the deck you want to study cards from.
  2. Apply a filter to only include new cards. You would select New and turn on the toggle.
  3. Click on Cram.
  4. On top-right of the cram page, you can Sort the order. Play around with the Date created option and the Ascending toggle to get the desired order.
  5. In cram more, by default, when you click Remember (or hit Space), the card is just removed from the cramming stack. If you want it to be added to the review queue (which is what you really want), you would hit Shift+A, or click on the triple-dot icon on the top-right of each card and select Add to reviews.

Personal opinion: It's not a good idea to make cards that heavily depend on their order in the deck. This way, you will start to infer the answer solely based on the context, which is not the desired outcome. If a card really benefits from having more context, link the cards using the [[reference]] syntax. This way, as you review a card, you can optionally glance at the context.

Hope this helps.

Thats great many thanks Sayed! And noted your point on dependance. Once I've learnt them, the order doesn't really matter. Its just the initial learning of the cards that I'd prefer to have in order. Appreciate your help!

So by default when viewing a deck, new cards will appear first. You can rearrange the cards manually by dragging them around, but this is probably not what you want (in some cases it might be useful).

When you click on the "New cards" button to learn your new cards there is a "Sort" drop-down button at the top right. Click on that and select "Date created" to learn your new cards in the order that they were created.
