Sorts decks by customizable character frequency lists, suspends cards above a chosen HSK level, orders Heisig components before cards, and provides customizable Hanzi statistics.
Tracks known vocabulary and reorders language cards so sentences contain only one unknown word, supporting multiple languages including Japanese with Japanese Support and Chinese.
Sorts new Anki cards by word frequency, familiarity, and other customizable factors across multiple decks, languages, and fields, using over 50 word-frequency lists for more accurate i+1 ordering.
Adds a preset manager below the filtered deck search field for saving, selecting, deleting, and reordering reusable search presets, with persistence across restarts.
Automatically suspends mature cards on profile startup using per-deck interval thresholds, skipping already-suspended cards and tagging affected notes with a configurable retired tag.
Generates random word lists from text files or card templates, with options to limit words by position range and list length for vocabulary practice.

Order By Frequency helps you reorder an Anki deck so common vocabulary shows up before rare words. Instead of studying in import order, you can move through your deck in a way that feels much closer to real language use.
If you want a more polished and consistent look across my add-ons, you can also install my Global Styling add-on. It lets you apply a shared design on top of supported add-ons without changing their functionality.
This is especially useful for language decks where some cards are clearly more worth learning early than others.
The add-on compares cards in your deck against one or more frequency lists, then:
The add-on starts in preview mode by default. That means your first run shows you what would happen before anything is written. 👀
If the ranking looks right, you can switch off dry_run in the add-on config and apply it for real.
Tools -> Order Deck By FrequencyFrenchThis add-on is not trying to turn Anki into a full language-learning platform.
It does one job: help your deck surface more useful vocabulary earlier, with a workflow that stays transparent and easy to check. ✨
This Anki add-on orders a deck by local word-frequency data through a simple menu-driven workflow inside Anki.
It ranks cards in a target deck against one or more local frequency lists and then:
Use Tools -> Order Deck By Frequency inside Anki.
The action:
data/dry_run is false and you confirm itThe default configuration targets:
Frenchdata/french-frequency/fr_full.txtdry_run: trueThat means the add-on will preview results first and will not write changes until you flip dry_run to false.
The repo now includes ready-to-use frequency lists for:
