Is there a way to make my oblivion list come before the new words list during Practice? I have a lot of new words and would like to work through them but I want to make sure I get through my Oblivion list first. I think my new words are from chapters 6-8 but half of my oblivion list is also 6-8 so I cannot just turn those chapters off as I won't get the oblivion list words during practice. As of right now I just have to refresh the page every time a non-oblivion word appears.

Oblivion words always come before any New words during Practice (if I'm remembering correctly). Now, at the moment, you will probably think what I've said sounds wrong, however there's a slightly confusing part to it that I need to explain:
Each time Practice loads a new question, the first thing the random encounter formula decides is whether to show "Kanji" question or "Vocabulary" question. It does this before it checks or decides anything else. But what does this matter for your situation?
—Example —
You have set Practice settings to both kanji and vocab "question modes", and also to "level 6" only.
Your "oblivion" list currently has 100 kanji items and 0 vocabulary items specifically within level 6.
Your "new" list has lots items within level 6 for BOTH kanji and vocabulary.
You have no "weak" questions at all (to keep things simple).
—————
・If Practice chooses to give you a kanji question, every time it will be an oblivion question (until you've gone through all those 100 lv6 kanji oblivion items). It will only start giving you any "new" lv6 kanji questions once you no longer have any oblivion lv6 kanji questions left.
・If Practice chooses to give you a vocabulary question, every time it will be a "new" question instead of oblivion. This is because you don't have any lv6 vocabulary items in your oblivion list.
Basically, figure out whether it is kanji or vocab which you still have oblivion items remaining for, then simply turn off the one which has no oblivion items left. ^^
(At least I hope that's how it works... after writing all that... I'm sure there must have been a shorter way to explain it but I couldn't think how.) ^^;
ok thanks for the explanation. I thought something along those lines was happening as it was always a Kanji question that was showing for new before my completed Oblivion questions.
