Description

You should not use this add-on version if you are a regular anki user. In its current form there's a good chance it'll permanently damage your collection (that holds everything you ever created or did in Anki). The add-on version for .22-.44 is the same as for .45+ (in 2022-02 despite the different upload dates). It's less tested because I don't use the old anki versions anymore. The add-on was uploaded so that it's discoverable. Maybe there are some experienced users who want to test it and fix or report bugs. If someone else forks and improves it I wouldn't mind at all ... I haven't really tested the add-on, especially not on newer Anki versions. But over the years some people told me that they sometimes use it and their collection survived it. Use this at your own risk. If you look for something that has a better chance of working maybe have a look at Duplicate and Reorder - the version from ankiweb from 2021-11-23 seemed to work well. I also have to other add-ons that allow to modify the note-id/creation time, see fast change note-id (dnr fork) or duplicate notes, fake nid, insert empty notes which in combination should cover most use cases of the note organizer but which are simpler and - in case an error occurs - should cause fewer problems to your database. This add-on was originally made by glutanimate in 2017 for Anki 2.0 and published on github (but not on ankiweb). Arthur updated it for 2.1 in early 2020. Since 2020-05 I made some changes and bugfixes. If you want to support the original creator glutanimate and get access to some great add-ons you can support him at https://www.patreon.com/glutanimate. This add-on allows to modify the creation time of notes and insert notes with a faked creation time. The only persistent sorting criterion across reviews in Anki is the note creation time. By modifying this time artificially, the add-on allows you to define a custom note sorting order. This is different from all of the other repositioning tools Anki ships with because they only temporarily affect the order of introduction of new cards. Any changes performed to the positioning of new cards get lost once they enter the learning phase.
