Manually shuffling 'stacking' a deck

I am using deck cards for spell slots. When a PC prepares spells they use the 'Choose' option to grab the card that represents that spell. When I created the cards, they were in order (by level then alphabetical) to be found quickly. When I go to add new cards, they are stuck at the bottom and now out of order. I would love to be able to manually arrange the cards in the deck (similar to putting macros in an order).

I can see many other ways this could be useful, as well. Especially if the player has the ability to only reorder a portion of the deck (eg, look at the top 5, put them back in a specific order) or put some on the bottom (look at the top 5, but 2 on top and 3 on the bottom).

Yeah, a very common mechanic in a bunch of deck games.

John K., if you want it ordered the way it was ordered when you first created it (the exact way you first added the cards), then hit Duplicate Deck and then erase the original one. The new (duplicated) deck will have the cards sorted as you first created it. So it would be wise to be very careful in what sequence you add the cards to the deck when you create it. If you want an alphabetical sorting (for example), but you added the cards in non-alphabetic order then this won't solve it. But I can see it being very useful to manually sort the deck once you later on add new cards, so that's a nice suggestion.

I have a Conditions deck and I always complain that I have to sift thru them. This would work perfect for me. Update: For some reason the very first card of the deck is out-of-order no matter how many times I try this trick... But the rest are kept in alphabetical order making it much easier to choose a card from the deck.
