Turn order tracker question

I'm just starting to figure this out. Thanks everyone for being so helpful. I created an initiative deck 1-10 for Alien RPG. I put whoever needs to be on the turn track in it. When I deal the cards to turn order items, they never sort I always have to open up the gear box and re sort them ascending, is there a way to get it to automatically move everyone into place? This isn't that big of a deal I have bigger questions I'll be posting too. lol. Thanks 
Without a pro subscription, you have to do it manually.
I'm a plus subscriber. So you're saying if I up it to pro it will do it automatically?  What else does Pro help with?

Not automatically.  Pro allows the use of API.  For instance I use the CombatMaster API.  To start combat, I draw a square around all of the combatants and click a button, this rolls initiative for every combatant, adds them to the turn order, sorts the turn order, flags the person that's up first and second and sends a message to chat saying who's turn it is.  This all happens in 1 second. I'm not sure with the cards that this specific API would work for your uses, but it is an example of what you can do with API.
Apologies for the newbie look on my response but is that "easy to do" like download it or cut and paste and boom its done or do I need to know a little more about writing APIs and macros.  I've just only learned the bare bones of macros since late last night.

As I said, I'm not sure how it will interact with your initiative system.  If initiative was just some character attribute + a dice roll, I'm all but certain that it could be made to work.  I believe, but am not certain that it is generically set up with status functions for 5e but all of those are editable so they could be made to work for any game. API take a little bit of tech know how, but not a lot.  Many of them can be downloaded with one click from a library.  Some others need to be copy / pasted into the API section of your campaign.  And when you start wanting to make small changes to the way they work, you have to start learning little bits about the way they work to edit them.
