What's the best Review Reordering script at the moment (mid 2025)?

The longer I continue, the harder I find reviews and I believe a good reordering script would help. The random occurrence of review questions is doing my head in. In particular I type meanings for readings and vice versa, then have to stop and get back into the reverse mindset. I’m not able to settle into the review.

Ideally I’d like to do all meanings in the review followed by all readings. If there’s nothing that can do that, does the back-to-back script work at the moment? I recall toward the start of the year someone saying it might be and some else saying they were having issues. I’d also like to be able to sort by latest/highest WK level to earliest (and the other way around), or even sort by radicals/kanji/kanji-vocab/kana-vocab.

My primary goal is to speed reviews, getting into more of a rhythm, rather than postponing selected things to a later review session, which I might do on rare occasions. I notice that people are considering giving up WK when faced with too large a review pile, so I suppose it’s a serious thing to be able to keep going by using selective postponement. It’s just not an issue I’ve happened to hit personally.

I use Chrome browser on laptop (and somewhat rarely chrome on Android, which causes me more typos).

Anyone with thoughts or tips, please?

Take a look at Reorder Omega.

I don’t think it will let you do all the meanings first, then all of the readings (or vice versa), but it does include an option to always see the reading and meaning together (“back-to-back behavior”), and an option to always see the reading first, or always see the meaning first (“prioritize”). It works in lessons, reviews, and self study.

You can also filter by item type, WK level, SRS stage, Joyo grade, JPLT level, frequency, etc.
You can also sort by item type, WK level, SRS stage, leech score, etc.
In short, it should do most of what you want.
