I've already done it, actually. Let me know if you want a patch for this.
The changes I've made are quite unintrusive. The new field is "Card ID"
(integer).
But I really need you to help me think about whether or not this is the
right way forward, both for my learning aims and for jMemorize. I don't
want jMemorize to be a mess of knee-jerk ideas going forward.
My rationalization of this "Card ID" idea is coming up next...

That is if we're studying fine-grained concepts that don't relate to
each other, so fine-grained that each concept can be contained in a
single card. This scenario turns up whenever we study language
vocabulary, for example.
I'm trying to put an economics textbook into cards. The concepts must be
studied in a particular flow because later concepts depend on earlier ones.
For the purpose of expressing myself properly here, I would define
"study" and "learn". "Study" is when the student is reading the cards
(PDF output, which I've refined just for this). "Learn" is when the
student is actually being tested by jMemorize.

Yes, which is why I thought to use a "Card ID" (integer) field, rather
than relying on the order in which the cards are saved.
That said, however, it's great that you're already saving the cards in
the order I've sorted them in jMemorize. I SVN my .jml files.

This is absolutely true. I thought I noticed the learning process mixes
the cards up. Is that true?

Well, I may create cards for chapter 5.1.3 before I go on to chapter
5.1.1. So this doesn't work for me.
