How do I do that? I just installed the script, but I don’t know how to make it reorder stuff.

there’s 2 scales, one weighs レベル vs タイプ … click it, so レベル has more weight

Where do I click on it though? Is it in settings? Is it in the review section? I tried to do reviews and nothing new popped up except something saying it was installing (but it also said it was at 100% and nothing was happening)
Hmm, the reorder script should result in a whole little thang appearing at the bottom of your review screen. Do you have the WK Open Framework installed as well, and are both scripts set to run? You should be able to check that by clicking on the little tampermonkey icon in the top-right of your browser when you do reviews.

I’ve done that and made sure WK Open Framework is running first. It’s still just giving me this: “WKU::Please Wait::Currently updating UID list… 100%”
In a popup? I would suggest posting in the Open Framework thread or the Reorder Thread then 
I’m not gonna be any further use

I’ve been having this too with the reorder script recently!!
HOOO BOY so this problem goes deeper than I thought. I got the reorder thing to work, and I have forgotten things as far back as level 4. That’s really not encouraging at all. Most of them I was like OH YEAH DUH after I read the answer, but some of them…not so much.
Do you think I should really reset that far…? 
EDIT: Yahhh…I’m only getting like 50% on levels 4 and 5…this is not good…
Don’t worry too much about it. It’s like a new game+
First time around, you probably knew much less than that. Assuming you knew 10%, you now know an additional 40% of those level.
Similarly, you will be much more familiar with the following levels than you were the first time around.
So, yes, it does sound far, but it will be much easier to go back to your current level than reaching it the first time was, and you will have better foundations for what comes next.

if you forgot lvl 4 items, reset back to 1.
make a clear cut and enjoy the breeze through 1-3, build some confidence. then, when you get to 4+, take more times with the lessons.

there’s also another alternative.
don’t reset anything. no lessons. unburn lvl 1 kanji, then lvl 2, then 3, and so on.
start lessons again when all lvl 13 kanji are guru.
i’ll do something like that when i hit 30, unburn only kanji, starting at lvl 15 or so.

How would reviews work, then, though? I always have over 300+ ensuring I never review all concepts at the proper time (because I don’t have the time/patience to slog through a 300+ backlog every day).

just don’t do any new lessons for now. work your reviews till the apprentice count is below 50 before you start to unburn.
set yourself a limit. x reviews per day, or x amount of time, then just stick to it.
As someone who just reset a second time to level 1, I recommend resetting to the level you’re having trouble with. I do my reviews on several devices, and not all of them support reordering.
I’ve been doing this for almost a month. I get so many wrong that it hardly makes a difference. 
I a little bit regret going all the way back to the beginning (though not that much). Be warned, that going back any number of levels may not actually take out many of your current review queue, but it will leave you with the ones it’s easiest to guru-up. You can always go back to 9 or 10, try it for a few days, and see if the SRS starts to take hold at some point, then go back even further if it doesn’t. No matter what, I’d do only reviews until you get to ~80% accuracy, then start to think about doing lessons. You’ll learn it eventually!

I’ve fallen off the bandwagon a few times and accumulated 600+ reviews. After I let reviews build up too much, I personally prefer working through the backlog to get it down to zero (however many days that takes), and then resume hitting zero every day after that. When you’re hitting zero reviews multiple times every day your review accuracy will go up, then once your daily review load and apprentice count are easy to handle, you’ll be ready to do more lessons.
One time I did use a reorder script to get through a large backlogs of reviews. I set it to give me radicals first, then kanji, then vocab, and I worked on getting each of those down to zero only after I was successfully hitting zero with the previous one. Vocab was obviously a much larger batch than radicals or kanji, but the reorder script should also let you sort by other categories if you find it necessary.
Honestly that’s exactly what a lot of members here do/have done. I definitely consider 250+ a normal day’s workload when leveling. To make your daily load easier, you probably need to make sure you’re down to like 20 or less apprentice items before you do lessons, and not let the apprentice count go over 100.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that… 
It’s a problem because I really don’t usually have time to spend over an hour doing WaniKani each day, especially because I feel like if I’m gonna devote that time to Japanese study, I’d rather spend it learning grammar and improving my speaking abilities (although knowing the kanji does make learning to read WAY faster).
This became a huge problem last semester because school took up most of my time. It’ll be even worse next semester because I’m gonna be in a musical. So…yeah. Not really sure how to work around that, or if I even can.
^^^ This seems reasonable. I think really slowing down my leveling process will be workable in my situation. Now I just gotta get down to that initial 0…

My personal opinion would be to reset to level 1. You seem flustered, and overwhelmed so maybe a fresh start would help that
But before you start, have a read of the ultimate guide to WK https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://community.wanikani.com/t/my-journey-of-368-days-the-ultimate-guide-for-wk/31318&ved=2ahUKEwjN2_PnubDfAhUjtnEKHVdgCsQQFjAAegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw2YfKowN9zQGgqly0vgnrfi
You seem worried about dedication hours and hours each day to lessons and reviews, but using this method, you only really have to be on WK 3 times a day, two times 12 hours apart, and one time 4 hours aside from that time
So for me my routine is this.
6am - half hour of reviews, I can usually burn about 70 reviews with lightning mode on
6pm - half-hour of reviews, and half hour of lessons
10pm - first review of learnt materials from 6pm, excluding any reviews that have popped up from other levels.
You can adjust this schedule to fit your needs, as long as the main sessions are 12 hours apart, the third session is a bit more flexible and can be done in either of the following ways.
Lesson at -4hours (for me this is 2am/pm) then review with main block of reviews at 6am/pm
Or
Lesson at 0hours (6am/6pm) then review at +4hours (10am/10pm) and can be moved accordingly if you fail a first review to the next +/-4hr period
This pushes all of my reviews to 6am and 6pm, as such those are the only times I need to dedicate 30mins to WK, and I’m levelling so much faster and getting so many more reviews correct, and they never pile up to more than 140, if I run out of time I just let them roll to the next review period.

How do you make this work? Do you use the self-study script?
I’m not exactly sure if I understood everything you said, but the every-12-hours thing makes sense.
