EDIT (ijgnd):

this is a feature request: add option to show vertical header (headings/row numbers/line numbers) as in spreadsheet software like this:

ab_add_show_vertical_headings_with_row_line_numbers_index
(this screenshot that should have been in this post)


original message:

Hello,

Is it possible to add a Row Number column in the browser so that one can look at the position of the note / card in the list? Or some placeholder where it can show how many are above and how many are below when a particular row is selected?

It can help me to
a. Revise notes sequentially and resume if I get interrupted.
b. Resume edits to cards after filtering.

This will help keep track of progress. How many were complete, how many are still pending, etc.
The row numbers should stay the same regardless of whatever sort order is selected.

Thank you.

I don't understand what you mean by "serial number" or "ow many are above and how many are below"

All notes and cards have a unique id that doesn't change and you can show these with the advanced browser if you have the add-on setting "show internal fields" enabled. These ids are the creation time in milliseconds in unix time. So if you sort by the note id the browser table is sorted by date created.

When it comes to reviewing: Anki randomizes the order of cards you review. So there's no fixed order of cards you'll see in the future that's stable for a long time. So you can't really sort by the queues the scheduler temporarily builds internally.

Unfortunately there's no screenshot in your post, I just see the text [image: Screenshot 2022-11-25 at 2.57.16 PM.png].

So you want to have row numbers (line numbers) on the left side of the table - just as in spreadsheet software like Excel or LibreOffice Calc so that there's a "1" next to the first line, a "2" next to the second line and so on (irrespective of which cards or notes are actually shown in this line).

I like this idea.

The problem is that in the last two years there have been few enhancements of this add-on and there are already many open feature requests. So I don't know when or if someone will implement this.
