[Savage Worlds] Initiative modifying when using card deck

Hey there, I had a question that's very specific to Savage Worlds and using the initiative tool.  I love how you can have the game auto deal cards to players for initiative, but some of my players have started taking the Quick edge, which allows them to redraw their initiative card in the event they get a 5 or lower.  Is there a quick and clean way to redraw a card directly to the turn order for that player in an instance like that?  So far I've just been fudging it and drawing a card onto the table, and then manually typing in the value into the turn order - Which is a bit awkward and I don't think it allows it to sort by descending order when typed in that way due to being a card value rather than a numerical one. Any tips for handling this would be appreciated!  Thanks!

If you upgrade to Pro there's an awesome API script that handles, and even handles going on Hold.  However, assuming you don't want to (or can't) do that, then how is used to do it was deal to Turn Order, then I'd hover over the deck and single click, that turns a card over, but leaves it on the deck. If that card needs to replace the Turn order card, then you click and drag the card from the deck to the spot on the Turn Order it needs to go and drop it. It's a little tricky and takes some getting used to, but once you have the hang of it, it works well. The important part is making sure your mouse is directly over the spot where the old card value is displayed.  If if you need more assistance, hit me up on IM and I'll invite you to a private game and show you what I mean. There's also a link on the wiki, but I'm not on my computer, so...kinda hard to grab the link atm.

Ok, I'm on my computer again...here's the url to the wiki: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Using_Cards_f" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Using_Cards_f</a>... However, to be a little more demonstrative, here's what it looks like: And in case that doesn't play the way I hope it does (you probably need to click the image first), here's a URL to the image:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.giphy.com/gifs/l3vRcAlzIaHprzdYc" rel="nofollow">http://www.giphy.com/gifs/l3vRcAlzIaHprzdYc</a> The important part is grabbing the card near a corner, so when you drag it to the turn order, you cans ee the box turn yellow. Because that yellow box is where you need to drop the card.
That is exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot!
