A debate I’ve been having about how to order vocab decks

I use Jisho for my flashcards. I’ve been building my deck from the words by JLPT level, which is by default alphabetical. So when I add new words I get a bunch starting with the same character. One one hand, it makes the new words -especially the kanji- easier to remember cause they all start the same, but on the other it makes them get mixed up sometimes. Not sure if I should continue like this or if randomizing it would be better?

  1. IMO randomize it. I still get kippu and kitte confused thanks to Genki putting them next to each other. The “ordered by occurence” that the core 2k decks use has worked best for me in terms of actual recall cause I dont associate unrelated words with each other anymore
