BTW, the first cards that come up during the (normal) review are those that are most urgent, i.e. those with the shortest scheduled intervals, which would have most harm from learning ahead of schedule.
Ideally, for learning ahead those with the longest interval should be shown first, but it's rather low on my priority list at the moment. Cheers, Peter > I've wondered a bit about this.
