- I have a stack with 3 backgrounds. The cards of one of the backgrounds are
- sorted in a way that is useful most of the time. However, in one instance,
- they aren't (and I'd prefer not to re-sort, if possible). In this case, the
- cards are sorted into alternating groups of interesting and uninteresting
- cards. I'd like to loop through the first interesting group using
- card x of bg "My Background", then find the first card of the next interesting
- group, and loop through that group. But the problem is that I can't seem to
- find out the number of a particular card within its background. Is there a way,
- or am I forced to do something different?
